GSMA Intelligence Radar Series 2023 and the automationimperative February 2023 © 2023 GSMA Intelligence The GSMA is a global organisation unifying the mobileecosystem to discover, develop and deliver innovationfoundational to positive business environments and societalchange. Our vision is to unlock the full power of connectivityso that people, industry and society thrive. Representingmobile operators and organisations across the mobileecosystem and adjacent industries, the GSMA delivers for itsmembers across three broad pillars: Connectivity for Good,Industry Services and Solutions, and Outreach. This activityincludes advancing policy, tackling today’s biggest societalchallenges, underpinning the technology and interoperabilitythat make mobile work, and providing the world’s largestplatform to convene the mobile ecosystem at the MWC andM360 series of events. GSMA Intelligence is the definitive source of global mobileoperator data, analysis and forecasts, and publisher ofauthoritative industry reports and research. Our data coversevery operator group, network and MVNO in every countryworldwide–from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. It is the mostaccurate and complete set of industry metrics available,comprising tens of millions of individual data points, updateddaily. GSMA Intelligence is relied on by leading operators, vendors,regulators, financial institutions and third-party industry players,to support strategic decision-making and long-term investmentplanning. The data is used as an industry reference point and isfrequently cited by the media and by the industry itself. We invite you to find out more atgsma.com Our team of analysts and experts produce regular thought-leading research reports across a range of industry topics.

Leveraging a global survey of mobile operators, theinsights that follow capture current thinking onautomation, what’s needed to execute on its promise,and the misunderstandings that could be holding itback. •Automation in 2023. Expectations for the near-term evolution of mobilenetworks include many dynamics that will elevate the value of automation: 5Gstandalone, cloud adoption, increasingly demanding users, and new servicerollouts. •Diverse technologies and demands. While the importance of automation iswell understood, application to a wide array of network and service assets–across a range of operators–means it cannot be viewed as a single,monolithic technology. •Operator insight imperative. To fully understand the state of automationamong mobile operators, a deep view into operator perspectives and plans iscritical. Automation in contextNetworks and services, people and profits in 2023 Taken together, today’s dynamics make an argument for network andservice automation. Comparing the argument for automation with real-world deployments,obstacles and deployment realities requires hearing directly fromoperators. Automation in context2023 in metrics and trends–5G scale and scope At the start of 2023, we are no longer waiting for the 5G era to arrive.5G spectrum allocations, trials, launches and connections reflect amaturing market. Automation in context2023 in metrics and trends–5G scale and uptake 5G maturity can be credited to extremely rapid user adoption.Compared to prior mobile broadband generations, the pace of5G uptake is remarkable. Automation in context2023 in metrics and trends–5G growth trajectory Today’s 5G penetration is a fraction of what it will be.A few key markets have driven 5G’s global success, with more growth to come. Automation in context2023 in metrics and trends–the search for revenues 5G was built to do two things:•address traffic demand•accelerate revenue growth–particularly from B2B. Automation in context2023 in metrics and trends–user versus network demand Mobile broadband user demand is driving network architecture evolution.More users expecting reliable broadband are driving dense, open,distributed networks.
