Details that matter

Engineered for professionals who demand the best in performance, security, and design.

How can AI and automation enable autonomous RAN operations?

The complexity of cellular networks is continuously increasing with a growing number of functionalities, algorithms and parameters. Mobile operators often deploy technologies from different suppliers and evolve their networks to introduce advanced capabilities, increasing operational complexity and cost pressure.

Better monetization

With differentiated services

Highest versatility

Leverage the benefits of open architectures

Best possible performance

At any time - at lowest possible costs

Enhanced network performance

SMO leverages AI-powered optimization algorithms to provide intelligent closed-loop automation, leading to higher network performance and efficient resource utilization.

Sustainable total cost of ownership (TCO)

SMO leverages AI-powered optimization algorithms to automate network management tasks. This reduces the need for manual intervention, which in turn lowers labor costs and minimizes human errors.

Truly open architecture

SMO manages multi-supplier networks and supports new standardized interfaces, enabling easy portability of O-RAN compliant rApps between different vendor platforms.

Slice automation

SMO automates the dynamic orchestration of network slices, ensuring that each slice meets specific SLAs. This supports the delivery of differentiated services.

Features

Core capabilities of Nokia MantaRay SMO

What is Service Management and Orchestration?

Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) is an open platform for managing a multi-supplier, multi-technology radio access network (RAN). SMO provides the intelligence, automation and coordination for managing the end-to-end lifecycle of the network.

SMO is designed to address operators' challenges and help them deliver differentiated service experiences for enterprises and consumers.

The SMO framework consists of different layers, including multi-supplier network management, application automation and orchestration.

SMO framework layers: exposure, orchestration, rApps, intelligent control and network management over 3rd party, purpose-built, cloud and O-RAN networks
Nokia MantaRay SMO architecture: Digital Operations Center and RAN Slice Controller, MantaRay AutoPilot, MantaRay SON with Non-RT RIC and rApps, and MantaRay NM managing the RAN

What is Nokia MantaRay SMO and how does it work?

MantaRay SMO is the RAN-domain component of Nokia’s end-to-end Autonomous Networks architecture, It is aligned with TM Forum Autonomous Networks framework and O-RAN Alliance SMO architecture. MantaRay SMO enables true openness and a simple evolution from today’s MantaRay product family to a full SMO solution while leveraging the best that AI and automation can offer. It’s the only SMO solution in the market that can achieve TM Forum's autonomous networks level 4 already today.

MantaRay SMO can run and orchestrate both the existing network and automation solutions that our customers use today while also supporting new interfaces and new applications. We also having an extensive catalogue of Nokia and third-party rApps, and we offer a software development kit (SDK) to our customers and application developers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Nokia MantaRay SMO

What is Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) in telecom networks?

Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) is an open platform that provides intelligence, automation, and lifecycle coordination for managing multi vendor, multi technology radio access networks. It enables consistent network operations, optimization, and service assurance across complex RAN environments.

What problems does SMO solve for mobile network operators?

SMO helps operators manage increasing RAN complexity by automating network operations, improving performance, reducing manual effort, and enabling consistent operations across equipment from multiple vendors.

How does MantaRay SMO support autonomous RAN operations?

MantaRay SMO applies AI driven analytics and automation to enable closed loop network operations, allowing the network to detect conditions, make decisions, and execute corrective actions with minimal or even no human intervention.

What is the role of rApps in Nokia MantaRay SMO?

rApps are modular applications that run on the SMO platform to enhance automation, performance and efficiency. MantaRay SMO enables operators to deploy Nokia and partner rApps through an open marketplace.

How does SMO help reduce RAN total cost of ownership?

By automating network management and optimization tasks, SMO reduces manual operations, improves resource utilization, and helps operators lower operational costs while maintaining network performance.
