M1, Ericsson to automate SG transport networks with AI

The solution uses AI and machine learning to automate network operations across microwave, IP, and optical systems.

M1 Limited and Ericsson have announced a new partnership to implement artificial intelligence-powered automation in Singapore’s transport network infrastructure.

The collaboration centers on the deployment of the Ericsson Transport Automation Controller (ETAC), a cloud-native system designed to manage and optimize complex transport networks.

The solution uses AI and machine learning to automate network operations across microwave, IP, and optical systems.

Following a successful proof of concept, M1 plans to first integrate ETAC into its microwave transport network, with future expansion into its IP network.

The system reportedly improved service assurance, interference detection, and root cause analysis during trial phases. It also aims to reduce power consumption, aligning with M1’s sustainability goals.

The enhanced automation is expected to support mission-critical sectors, such as logistics and port operations, where high service reliability and low latency are essential.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
