Autonomous Digital Infrastructure
The ICT industry is going through a deep Digital Transformation, driven by changing customer demands and by the extension of the Ecosystem to new
Business Partners (Verticals) enabled by the arrival of new technologies such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence and Multi-access Edge Computing.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is announced.
In order to provide end to end solutions customized to the Customers and Business Partners needs, the increasing complexity of Networks and
Platforms supported by innovative technologies require to introduce a new Intelligent Framework with very high level of Automation in the
Management and provisioning of services and Networks (Autonomous Digital Infrastructure - ADI). Autonomous Digital Infrastructure is based on
Autonomous Networks.

Autonomous Networks consist of a simplified network architecture, virtualized components, automating agents, intelligent decision
engines and present self-dynamic capabilities to create intelligent business and network operations based on the concept of closed-
loop controls (from TMForum)

Autonomous Digital Infrastructure will reduce the complexity of the usage of ICT technical stacks and offerings and make
the collaboration easier between vertical industry and ICT. There is likely to have a COMMON Architecture Pattern, that is
the Autonomous Industry Infrastructure (AII) based on Autonomous Production Domains: ADI embedded AII for
Manufacturing should be the backbone of Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) as well as ADI embedded AII for
Digital Health should be the backbone of Digital Health as a Service (Haas)

Key Takeaways from GIO webinar

•    ADI is a great business opportunity not only for CSPs. Operators will benefit in terms
    of strong cost reduction and new revenue opportunities
•    ADI evolution, standardization and deployment require a large industry
•    consensus; SDOs need to collaborate to reduce the competitions and create synergy,
     GIO can help at all levels
•   Network Slicing is a key capability for 5G; evolution and standardization of Autonomous Networks and ADI should take care of
    evolving Network Slicing in order to satisfy the Verticals requirements and needs
•    AI and Machine Learning will play a key role in ADI evolution, these technologies will be everywhere from devices to
     edge/cloud, they are managed, produced and owned by different players, mixed ownerships is a point of attention and it
     requires security and trust
•    The evolution from Cloud computing to Edge Computing is the trend and it will be the next battle-ground where Telcos can play
     an important role.
•    AN/ ADI is a Medium-Long Term evolution the real products deployment with AI everywhere and a significant level of
     Autonomy (level 4/5) are expected in four/five years, however in 24 month time-frame tangible elements of AN, generating the
     first benefits, might be available (i.e. at Level 3 – partial autonomy).
•   Standards should move fast to prepare the conditions of interoperability and commercial deployment of Autonomous Networks;
    the Standard stabilization should be within 2 years maximum time-frame

Autonomous Digital Infrastructure (ADI) – Plan for 2021
The Working Group is focused on the promotion and launch of Autonomous Digital Infrastructure in a medium/long
term perspective as a key enabler of Digital Transformation in the Industry.

Questionnaire and survey
Objective of the questionnaire: interview Partners, ICT players and Verticals on business value, innovative enabling
technologies and use cases on Autonomous Digital Infrastructure and soliciting contributions to actively participate the
ADI WG deliverables.
A survey is going to be delivered to GIO partners collecting answers and suggestions

The questionnaire is based on 3 main sections:
• Information on the Partner/ Company and its business / competence focus
• 5G and Key technologies plan and interest
• Autonomous Networks (status of the initiatives, results and plan) and Autonomous Digital Infrastructure (perspective and
   opportunities)

The interest in attending the ADI WG is also checked as well as the area / deliverable to contribute and some suggestions are
collected on the best way of working/ contributing (depending on the deliverable to be produced)

The questionnaire will be delivered after the GIO RT#7 by GIO Operation Team

After a reasonable time frame (3-4 weeks) to answer the questionnaire, a survey collecting the answers will be delivered to GIO
partners by the GIO Operation Team
Conclusions
•   Autonomous Networks (AN) is gaining momentum and consensus in most significant SDOs and is in continuous progress
       • TM Forum launched a coordination table among SDO working on the subject
       • ETSI launched a OCG ad hoc subGroup for synchronization and coordination of ISG/TC dealing with AN
       • NGMN launched the Project Network Automation and Autonomy
       • ITU-T launched a Focus Group
•   Autonomous Digital Infrastructure (ADI) is a further step forward – being AN a primary foundation for ADI
•   ADI includes Provisiong, Business Assurance, Offer management, Customer and Party Management... It is beyond connectivity
•   ADI includes Computing, Edge Cloud, Federation of Edge and Cloud, connectivity and services... It is Cross-Connectivity
•   ADI requires committment and engagement of Business Partners (Verticals) for use cases and requirements
•   ADI could be the backbone of MaaS (Manufacturing as a Service), HaaS (Health as a Service), ADCaaS (Autonomous Driving Car as a
    Service)....
•   Intelligent and dynamic E2E ADI Slicing, SLA driven, is a key element for ADI
•   ADI should provide the capabilities to create Vertical specific Digital Twin
•   ADI is business driven and opens new innovative business scenarios and opportunities with Verticals
•   GIO can engage Vertical Partners through Vertical/ Cross Vertical Alliances (5GAA, 5GDNA, 5GSA, IIC, 5G-ACIA...) and provide the
    right Forum to co-operate
