Fujitsu unveils AI tool to optimise 5G networks
Real-time monitoring allows Fujitsu’s system to prevent network issues by activating additional base stations before demand spikes.
Fujitsu has launched a new AI-powered service aimed at boosting 5G network performance by predicting traffic surges and adjusting base station operations. The application ensures users experience minimal disruptions during peak periods by activating additional base stations when needed.
The system measures network quality in real time, identifying early signs of increased demand to prevent performance drops. It promises improved energy efficiency and reduced operational costs through smarter base station management. Commercial availability is scheduled for next month, integrated into Fujitsu’s open RAN-compliant orchestration platform.
Trials revealed that the technology enhances the user experience for individual applications, supporting 19% more users per base station. The predictive system is particularly effective during events, allowing networks to anticipate pedestrian traffic and adapt without compromising service quality.
Fujitsu’s tool represents a breakthrough in network management by combining traffic forecasting with dynamic resource allocation. Operators can now ensure smoother connectivity and reduce power consumption while keeping pace with fluctuating demand.
