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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
