Ooredoo Kuwait has deployed its new 5G network analytics capabilities to improve operational efficiency and service delivery across its infrastructure.
According to a report by Telecom Review, the operator integrated the Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) into its core architecture. This deployment helps the company process data from multiple sources to make faster decisions.
The NWDAF technology is standardized under 3GPP specifications for 5G Core networks. It collects and analyzes network, service, and user-performance data. Consequently, the system provides actionable insights to help operational teams identify patterns and detect anomalies.
Deploying 5G Network Analytics
The integration of 5G network analytics allows the operator to use machine learning to anticipate potential network requirements. This technology forms a key part of the company’s broader digital transformation strategy. Furthermore, the strategy combines artificial intelligence and cloud computing to build a flexible communications infrastructure.
Transition to Predictive Operations
As 5G standalone networks expand, real-time monitoring becomes essential for maintaining service stability. The deployment represents a shift from responding to issues after they occur to a predictive management model. Meanwhile, the advanced analytics layer helps optimize resources before any degradation affects users.
Issa Haidar, Chief Technology Officer at Ooredoo Kuwait, stated that data is a highly valuable asset in the telecommunications industry. He added:
“The successful deployment of NWDAF is an important milestone in Ooredoo Kuwait’s journey towards building a smarter network that can anticipate and adapt to changing requirements.”

Improving Customer Experience
The analytical capabilities of the system help identify early indicators of service degradation. As a result, network teams can take corrective action before customers notice any impact. This proactive approach supports efficient resource management and prioritizes services for different customer segments.
By integrating these tools, the company aims to maintain high levels of quality of experience. The operator continues to invest in its infrastructure to prepare for the next phase of connectivity.
Future of Network Automation
The deployment of 5G network analytics lays the foundation for higher levels of network autonomy. Over time, the system will support predictive network optimization and intelligent traffic management. Consequently, the network will require less manual intervention to resolve emerging challenges.
This initiative aligns with the company’s goal of using advanced connectivity solutions to strengthen its digital capabilities in the regional economy. By adopting these technologies, the operator reinforces its position in the Kuwaiti market.
