Cassava Launches AI Network Management System to Automate African Telecom Operations

Cassava Technologies, backed by Nvidia, launched Cassava Autonomous Network, an AI system automating Radio Access Network (RAN) management across Africa. The system replaces manual adjustments with AI-driven optimization, reducing repair times from four days to 35 minutes and increasing efficiency by 75%. Powered by Nvidia infrastructure, it works across vendor equipment and supports 2G-5G networks. Africa's internet users (330M+ in 2024) and 5G expansion (53 operators in 29 countries) drive demand for intelligent networks. Cassava's open architecture differentiates it from competitors like Nokia and Huawei.
