# Digital Twin Network

Harnessing real-time network data and putting it into a user-friendly interface to facilitate dynamic management and adaptation to network changes could prove a boon to operators. Given the increase in network and service complexity coming with the evolution from 5G to 5G-Advanced and eventually to 6G, digital twin networks could help simplify everything from coverage and capacity planning to actual operation of the network. 

Qualcomm Senior Director of Technology Xiaoxia Zhang explained that “the overall concept is to reduce network cost, and also make it easier to deploy and also manage.” With a digital twin network—or a digital twin of a manufacturing system, city, etc…—the idea is to stand up a digital version of a physical network or process. “With this you can do lots of analytics of the network operation,” she said.

Qualcomm brings the digital twin network to life

Qualcomm’s expertise in wireless system modeling, computer vision and AI came together to create a digital twin network to complement its live physical over-the-air testbed in San Diego. This demonstration from MWC 2024 offers a peak into the future of connectivity and the benefits to both network operators and end-users of bringing the digital and the physical worlds closer with a high-fidelity digital twin network.
