Nokia AVA Digital Twin

Nokia offers its digital twin capability within the AVA platform and MantaRay network management suite. The Nokia twin ingests data from NetAct OSS and RAN controllers to build a continuously updated network model. Its strength lies in RAN optimization — engineers simulate antenna parameter changes, evaluate carrier addition scenarios, and test SON algorithm modifications before live deployment. Nokia integrates ML-based anomaly detection that flags cells where twin predictions diverge from actual KPIs, indicating either model drift or emerging network problems requiring investigation.
