What is network management?


Network management, an integral part of mobile networks, covers configuring, automation and optimization tasks as well as monitoring, analytics and
troubleshooting. Network management needs to follow the rhythm of network evolution.
In mobile networks, the volume of data traffic and network complexity are increasing continuously. Many operators are running multi-supplier and
multi-technology networks, which brings a further challenge from network management perspective. Network management must be able to address
both the increasing network complexity and the growing amount of traffic and data.
A network management system consists of tools for handling various network elements in live network and for the future network expansion. It
provides comprehensive operation and maintenance capabilities for network elements in core, radio and transport networks both for managing
physical network elements as well as virtualized network functions.
Why is intelligence necessary in network management?

With the introduction of 5G, there are more network elements, sites, and cells than ever before. Managing the complexity of 5G in a cost-efficient way
requires more than just automation. Artificial Intelligence brings the necessary intelligence for managing 5G networks, resulting in operational
efficiency.
Managing multi-technology networks is time-consuming. It is not possible to manually handle all network management tasks in a 5G network without
impacting subscriber experience. Furthermore, most network outages are caused by human error. Automated routines with Artificial Intelligence
algorithms help eliminate typical human mistakes. They also make introduction of new services faster. When the burden of repetitive network
management tasks is moved to the algorithms, the operator’s network engineers can concentrate on more value-adding tasks.

Nokia MantaRay
Single management system for all technologies

With MantaRay NM, mobile network operators can easily handle the continuous growth of data, thanks to its seamless management capability that
shows the biggest values when there are many technologies and layers in the networks. Nokia MantaRay NM functionalities are developed to take care
of 5G,as well as 2G/3G/4G from day 1.
It is a single management system for purpose-built RAN, Packet/Mobile Core, Enterprises and Cloud RAN.
MantaRay NM is continuously enhanced with additional features, for example zero-touch 5G rollout with Plug-and-Play functionality, mass base station
rebuilding for smooth SRAN migration, or mass change verification on network elements.

World’s first automated 4G/5G slicing in RAN domain

Nokia network management system is slice aware starting from 4G. Slice automation enables operators to streamline operations, thereby reducing
operational costs and meeting expectations for service velocity. Nokia MantaRay NM is an integral part of Nokia‘s end-to-end 4G/5G radio slicing
solution.
It is providing both automated Configuration and Performance management for 4G/5G radio slices.

Artificial Intelligence in network management

Nokia MantaRay NM leverages big data. It combines this data with Artificial Intelligence techniques for various functionalities. Being the central source
of network-wide operations, MantaRay NM also provides a great source of input for other Artificial Intelligence applications in operator networks.
Nokia is closely collaborating with operators" on AI concepts and use cases, e.g. intelligent correlation of network alarms. These innovations help
maximize the value of AI in network management.

Reduce radio network energy consumption without compromising the end user experience

70-80 percent of a mobile network’s energy is consumed by base station sites. Mobile operators face an overall increase of 10-30 percent annually in
mobile network energy use. Managing energy efficiency is necessary to control the costs while maintaining the service level that end users are
expecting.
MantaRay NM is part of Nokia's MantaRay Energy solution, which significantly reduces power consumption of radio networks, helping operators reach
their zero-emission targets.
