Redefining the Autonomous Telco Era
DTW Ignite 2026, TM Forum’s flagship global telecom event, brings together over 5,000 industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers to shape the future of AI-native connectivity.
Under the theme “The Future. Faster.” the event focuses on accelerating transformation across telecom through Autonomous Networks, AI & Data, and Composable IT ecosystems.
Sutherland will showcase its AI-native network solutions, helping telecom operators move from traditional operations to intelligent, autonomous, and scalable network ecosystems, accelerating the journey to real, deployable network transformation.
Showcase Solutions
Agentic NOC and AN Level Assessment
As the first TM Forum-certified provider for Autonomous Network assessments, we benchmark your current AN maturity level, pinpoint the highest-impact automation opportunities, and deploy our Agentic NOC suite of AI agents to enable self-healing, closed-loop operations and predictive assurance.
Aligned with TM Forum frameworks, our solution accelerates your evolution toward Level 4/5 autonomous networks, delivering zero-touch operations and improved service reliability. The result: 25-40% OpEx reduction through an outcome-based pricing model that puts skin in the game. With AI-driven intelligence at every layer, we turn your network operations from reactive to autonomous, reliably and measurably.

Agentic NOC: AI-Native Operations for the Autonomous Telco
TM Forum Catalyst Project C26.0.924
Sutherland is proud to lead this TM Forum Catalyst, demonstrating how AI-native agentic operations can transform traditional NOCs into autonomous, self-healing nerve centers, enabling closed-loop remediation, predictive fault management, and cross-domain alert correlation across RAN and Transport. Our AI Fabric orchestrates a suite of purpose-built telco agents that deliver root cause analysis, intelligent triage, and zero-touch recovery, accelerating the path toward Level 4/5 autonomous networks.
Developed in collaboration with leading CSPs and partners, this initiative showcases the power of agentic AI to drive operational resilience, reduce manual intervention, and redefine network operations at scale.

Speaking Session
Securing the Agentic NOC: Engineering Trust, Identity, and Governance for Multi-Agent Telecom Operations
24 June | 12:30 – 12:45
Speaker: Jay Naillon
VP and Global Head of Solutions, Telecom, Media, Technology & Utilities
As telecom networks move toward AI-native, agentic operations, ensuring trust, identity, and governance becomes critical.
In this session, Sutherland and Snowflake will showcase how secure multi-agent architectures enable real-time collaboration across network and IT domains-while maintaining control, visibility, and compliance.
Key takeaways:
- Secure agent-to-agent orchestration using A2A and MCP protocols
- Built-in identity and governance with role-based access and auditability
- A practical blueprint for scalable, interoperable agentic operations
