Verizon is implementing agentic AI to automate network operations, including its 5G standalone core and virtualized radio access network (vRAN), aiming to enhance efficiency and scalability. The carrier is seeing promising early results and urges the industry to focus on security, transparency, and common frameworks for agentic network operations. Verizon's vRAN is one of the largest in the world, with 22,900 sites in service, and its automation extends to planned changes, unplanned changes, and optimizations.
