On the use of predictive analytics techniques for network elements failure prediction in telecom operators

Reliability of the telecom operator optical network infrastructure is one of the most important competitive advantages of the operator to provide the required quality of service to its customer. Massive amounts of voice and data traffic can be lost due to network failure, especially in the case of failures of nodes (optical switches). In this paper, we use predictive analytics techniques in one of the biggest telecom operators in the Middle East to predict the node failures in advance to take the precautionary measures before it fails.
