Telenor’s objective
Today, it’s important to focus on central management and automation, and strive toward zero-touch operations to improve efficiency and reliability for tomorrow. This will help to increase your revenue potential, allowing you to innovate and deliver new and better services to your customers.
The challenges you face
Without automation, you may rely heavily on manual processes, which are time-consuming, error-prone, and resource-intensive – leading to higher operational costs. This inefficiency can hinder service provisioning, network scalability and the integration of technologies such as 5G and IoT.
Manual processes also lack real-time visibility into network performance and health, making it difficult to identify and address these issues proactively. This can impact service quality, leading to customer dissatisfaction.
On top of all this, there are skill shortages and complexity to deal with. Integrating diverse country networks into a unified infrastructure will require you to address differences in technology, regulations, and standards – which is no small task.
How Ciena can support
Key benefits to Telenor include reduced network complexity, streamlined management, reduced manual intervention, lower operating costs, enhanced performance, improved scalability, and increased revenue potential.

Optimize and unify
We are the ideal partner to support your automation journey. Our Adaptive Network vision will enable you to optimize and unify your existing infrastructures (both centralized and group wide) while incorporating new technologies and ways of leveraging your network assets.
Our vision blends intelligent automation, data-driven analytics, and intent-based policies to help you rapidly self-configure, self-optimize, and self-heal. It also enables you to constantly assess and address the ongoing network pressures that you’ll encounter during market expansion.

Enhance network and business outcomes
Our Adaptive Network vision is built on key elements that enhance network and business outcomes independently, but are a force multiplier when combined.
IP/Optical Convergence capability can reduce your equipment footprint and power consumption through pluggable optics and purpose-built routers. Adaptive IP Architecture can streamline operations through software-powered automation. And open APIs and SAOS can enable the integration of multi-vendor equipment across your networks – creating a unified infrastructure.
Don't just take our word for it:
“Escalating demand for data requires a high-capacity and resilient network that can thrive not only today but for years to come. Preparing a future-fit network, through our partnership with Ciena, will enable Vi subscribers to experience world-class highly available, scalable connectivity, and realize the benefits of cloud, IoT, and 5G in future.”
