Digital twins give us the unprecedented opportunity to explore alternative worlds or scenarios where things are similar to the real ones, but differ from them in subtle ways, so we can see how things look like if only we make a few changes. It is a fascinating way to explore the possible but also to avoid failures, assess the impact and benefits of network changes or new technologies, and compare different decisions before implementing one.

How does this work in practice, in real networks? I talked to Chris Murphy, Regional CTO for EMEA, VIAVI Solutions, who has been working on AI and telecom networks for a long time, to tell us how we can get digital twins for us. We talked about their potential, but more importantly, about how to get them to work in real networks, how to extract the most value from them, and how to avoid the challenges that they create. No slide-deck shine, I promise.
