Huawei outlines ICNMaster MDAF deployments and AN L4 plans

According to a company release, Huawei presented ICNMaster MDAF as a capability intended to support core network operations and linked network stability to public digital well‑being and social participation, noting that disruptions to core networks affected tens of millions of users.

The release recounted that 2025 marked the first year of AN L4 commercialization and that TM Forum published a seventh edition Autonomous Networks White Paper defining implementation milestones, key technologies, and solution packages; it also said 18 operators disclosed AN L4 strategies and six operators obtained TM Forum certification after the evaluation criteria were issued.

On technical matters, the release described ICNMaster MDAF as focusing on stability and efficiency and said it introduced a hybrid model architecture called Mixture of Models (MoM) and intelligent agents for fault management and complaint handling to enable scenario‑based automation.

The release reported that, after a year of development, MDAF was deployed across the networks of 14 operators worldwide and that the deployments reduced service recovery time, improved O&M efficiency, and changed the operational experience of O&M personnel.

The release said Huawei planned to introduce a new AN L4 solution in 2026 and to work with customers and partners on AN development and high‑stability evaluation criteria to support operators in achieving efficient O&M and network stability.
