The Catalyst demonstrates an Agentic AI-driven, intent-to-operate
framework that unifies service activation and network change
management into a single autonomous lifecycle aligned with TM Forum
ODA and Autonomous Networks Level 4, with a clear evolution path to
Level 5.
CSPs and large enterprises manage increasingly complex hybrid networks
spanning multiple domains like SD-WAN, LAN, transport etc... Service
activation and network change are still treated as separate, manual,
and technology-specific processes involving multiple teams, scripts,
and vendor tools. This results in slow delivery, inconsistent policy
enforcement, elevated operational risk, increasing cost and limited
progress toward Autonomous Networks Level 4 and beyond.
""Activation is just the first change in a service lifecycle"
As customers increasingly request changes directly and service volumes
grow by 30–50%, CSPs require a single, trusted, policy-governed,
autonomous lifecycle that can safely activate, modify, optimize, and
assure services across multi-vendor environments.
Enterprise customers, operations teams, or external systems submit
service or change requests in natural language or via APIs. These
intents are ingested through TMF921 Intent Management, where Agentic
AI interprets, negotiates, and decomposes them into standardized
service, resource, and policy intents.
The policy-first approach for change management ensures that only
compliant, low-risk configurations are approved for execution. In
activation, it enables vendor agnostic activation leveraging standard
network templates like OpenConfig / IETF YANG, enabling consistent,
repeatable, and auditable activation across multi‑vendor, multi-domain
hybrid environments
Using TM Forum Open APIs, the system orchestrates zero-touch
activation and change execution across multi-vendor infrastructure.
TMF921 - Intent capture and normalization
TMF640 – Service Activation & Configuration to execute service-level
activations and modifications
TMF702 / TMF664 – Resource Activation & Resource Function Activation
for domain-level and network-element changes
TMF655 - Change management
Continuous telemetry, KPI validation, and AI-driven anomaly detection
enable closed-loop assurance, with automated remediation or rollback
when deviations are detected, reducing service risk, improving SLA
compliance, reinforces trust in autonomous activation and change
operations.
By unifying intent management, policy-first activation, autonomous
change execution, and closed-loop assurance, the Catalyst enables CSPs
to safely scale customer-initiated changes, reduce operational effort,
and deliver hybrid network services at cloud speed—providing a
practical and repeatable path toward Level 4 and Level 5 autonomous
operations
