Mavenir launches AI agent framework for network automation

Mavenir targets autonomous network operations with multi-agent AI

Mavenir has introduced an Agentic Service Assurance Framework designed to automate complex network operations across multiple technology domains without requiring operators to replace their existing infrastructure.

The TM Forum-compliant system deploys multiple AI agents coordinated by an intent orchestrator to detect, diagnose, and resolve network faults. According to Mavenir CEO Pardeep Kohli, the foundation AI agents are engineered to automate between 60% and 75% of routine network operations tasks.

"In a way, you have a kind of personal assistant always watching you, but this personal assistant is for the network," Kohli told Mobile World Live, which first reported the announcement.

How the framework addresses operator pain points

Mavenir positions the framework as a response to escalating complexity in modern network environments. As operators manage 5G, cloud-native, and IP infrastructure simultaneously, traditional assurance systems can flag alarms but often fail to pinpoint root causes. The retirement of experienced engineers compounds the challenge by removing institutional knowledge from operations teams.

Multi-vendor environments create additional friction through data silos that individual monitoring tools struggle to correlate. Mavenir's framework addresses this through cross-domain monitoring and root-cause analysis capabilities.

At the core sits Mavenir's Intent Ops engine, which observes network operations center workflows, identifies patterns in successful issue resolution, and converts those patterns into repeatable automation templates. The system validates these workflows against human baselines before allowing autonomous execution, then publishes vetted automations to an expanding orchestration catalog.

Interoperability through TM Forum standards

The framework connects with existing OSS AI agents using the agent-to-agent protocol defined in TM Forum's IG1453 specification. This standards-based approach enables operators to preserve prior technology investments while extending automation across their network stack.

Mavenir did not disclose a commercial availability date for the framework.

Why it matters

As network complexity grows with 5G densification and cloud-native architectures, operators face mounting pressure to reduce operational costs while maintaining service quality. Autonomous systems that can learn from human expertise and operate across vendor boundaries represent a potential path to sustainable operations at scale—particularly as experienced engineering talent becomes scarcer. The framework's compliance with TM Forum standards suggests a shift toward interoperable AI agents rather than proprietary automation silos.
