Cassava Autonomous Network

AI-Native Network Operations

Give your network the intelligence it needs to design, optimise, and heal itself: across RAN, core, and transmission – on a fully managed, GPU-accelerated AI platform.

The Challenge: Legacy Network Operations Can't Scale

Most mobile operators today manage networks through a patchwork of vendor-specific NMS and OSS tools, each with its own data model, API, and operational workflow. Planning, provisioning, optimisation, and troubleshooting are largely manual, requiring specialised knowledge for each vendor domain – Huawei RAN, ZTE core, Ericsson transport, Nokia IP. As networks grow more complex (multi-RAT, multi-vendor, multi-technology), and as mobile operators face pressure to launch AI-era services at speed, this approach breaks down.

Traditional automation scripts can handle routine tasks, but they can’t model the interactions between domains, predict cascading failures, or optimise across conflicting objectives (capacity vs. power vs. cost vs. SLA). Network teams spend most of their time firefighting instead of innovating, and service turn-up can take weeks or months instead of hours.

Cassava Autonomous Network solves this by creating a unified AI control layer that sits above your existing infrastructure, ingesting telemetry from all domains and exposing a single programmable interface for policy, intent, and orchestration – without replacing your vendor equipment or forcing a rip-and-replace migration.

NVIDIA Co-Developed GPU-Accelerated Intelligence

Cassava Autonomous Network is powered by a GPU-accelerated AI stack co-developed with NVIDIA, leveraging the same sovereign AI factory infrastructure. This intelligence layer runs large-scale optimisation, anomaly detection, forecasting, and agent-based control loops across millions of network events per second, enabling decisions that traditional NMS and OSS stacks cannot match.

Vendor-Agnostic by Design

Cassava Autonomous Network is vendor-agnostic and works across multi-vendor environments, protecting your existing capex while modernising operations. The platform ingests data and exposes actions through open APIs and adapters, so operators can standardise automation and policy across legacy, brownfield, and greenfield domains without costly vendor lock-in.

Full-Spectrum, Emerging-Market Ready

Designed for Africa's realities, Cassava Autonomous Network is full-spectrum ready: native from 2G to 5G, with coverage spanning RAN, core, IP/MPLS, optical, and satellite backhaul. It understands rural coverage footprints, power and backhaul constraints, and mixed-technology networks, optimising not just for peak throughput but for availability, cost, and regulatory obligations.

Agent-Driven Autonomous Optimisation

At the core of the platform is an agent-driven autonomy engine that encodes network policies and commercial intent into specialised AI agents. These agents continuously explore, simulate, and execute changes via the digital twin, driving over 75% efficiency gains in planning, provisioning, optimisation, and incident handling compared to traditional manual operations.

Production agents

Each agent operates within guardrails defined by your engineering and regulatory teams, so automation remains safe, auditable, and aligned with business policy. This continuous sense–think–act–learn loop creates a self-improving network that gets smarter with every event, ticket, and configuration change.

Congestion relief agent

Detects rising cell load, simulates handover parameter changes and carrier aggregation reconfigurations, applies optimal setting, and verifies customer experience improvement within 15 minutes.

Energy savings agent

Identifies underutilised sectors during off-peak hours, evaluates coverage impact of shutting them down, executes power-save mode, and brings them back online predictively before morning traffic surge.

SLA assurance agent

Monitors enterprise circuit KPIs, predicts SLA breach risk 2-4 hours in advance, triggers proactive rerouting or capacity injection, logs evidence for commercial and regulatory reporting.

New service turn-up agent

Takes a service order (e.g., 100 Mbps enterprise VPN between sites X and Y), validates feasibility, provisions end-to-end path across RAN-core-transport, configures QoS and security policies, runs validation tests, and hands off to NOC - all in under 40 minutes instead of 2-3 weeks.

Service agility	Launch and modify wholesale, enterprise, and consumer services in near real-time, with pre-tested intent templates and end-to-end orchestration across domains.

Outcomes for Mobile Operators

Reduced opex

Dramatically lower manual design, configuration, and troubleshooting workloads, freeing engineering teams to focus on higher-value innovation instead of firefighting.

Faster time-to-revenue

Launch and modify services in near real-time, with pre-tested intent templates for wholesale, enterprise, and retail offerings—turning service provisioning from weeks into hours.

Higher resilience and SLA performance

Use AI-driven prediction, rerouting, and self-healing to minimise outages and performance degradations—preventing customer impact before it happens.

Energy and sustainability gains

Optimise power consumption dynamically across the network, reducing diesel and grid costs by 20-30% while maintaining coverage and service quality.

Foundation for AI-era services

Provide AI-ready, high-performance connectivity that aligns with Cassava's AI factory and CAIMEx strategy, enabling a new generation of digital and AI services across Africa.

Competitive differentiation
