Telecom Infra Project

TIP’s OpenRAN RAN Intelligence & Automation (RIA) Subgroup has released a new white paper exploring how Agentic AI could advance O-RAN SMO. It examines today’s automation gaps, governed AI agents, energy optimization, cross-domain fault resolution, and a vision for an AI-native, intent-driven SMO for 6G, including TIP’s role in turning emerging architectures into deployable solutions.

AI agents will need more than powerful models. They will need trusted identities, reliable infrastructure, and a way to operate close to the people and devices they serve. Personal AI founder Suman Kanuganti explains why telecom operators could play a central role in distributed inference, personal AI, and the emerging market for token-based services.

Q2 brought new Project Group momentum across open networks, AI-native telecom foundations, application experience, and FYUZ 2026 planning as the TIP community prepares to gather in Seattle this November.
