Network digital twins offer path to autonomous telecom operations

12 February 2026

As telecommunications networks become more complex with 5G and cloud-native technologies, Communication Service Providers face increasing pressure to improve efficiency, resilience, and agility.

Network Digital Twins address these challenges by providing a dynamic, near real-time digital view of the network, unifying data across domains, enabling end-to-end visibility, faster issue resolution, and more informed decision-making. Together with intelligent agents, they enable the shift from reactive operations to predictive and autonomous network management.

A new white paper from Celfocus outlines how operators can leverage Network Digital Twins to break down operational silos and achieve holistic, end-to-end network visibility. The paper explains how the technology can reduce operational complexity, incident duplication, and Mean Time to Detect through AI-driven analytics and automation. It also details how digital twins enable proactive impact assessment, optimised resource utilisation, and more resilient, zero-touch network operations.
Celfocus supports CSPs in defining clear transformation roadmaps and operationalising Network Digital Twins through open, scalable platforms, advanced analytics, and automation.
