On June 24, 2026, Telefónica Deutschland and Blue Planet, a division of Ciena, successfully completed a joint proof of concept (PoC) demonstrating the use of AI agents to accelerate the design and fulfillment of advanced 5G network slicing services. The trial found that AI agents could complete tasks traditionally requiring specialist engineering expertise in minutes rather than weeks, thereby improving consistency, reducing errors, and simplifying complex standards through repeatable automated processes. This initiative supports Telefónica Deutschland’s ongoing transformation of its OSS and its strategy for higher levels of network autonomy, focusing on industrializing service and network deployment through its Service & Network Factory. Earlier, on June 23, 2026, multiple reports also confirmed the completion of this joint PoC exploring AI agents for 5G network slicing service design.
