Zain Bahrain moved Ericsson's AI scheduler from a trial to its live 5G network

WorkingCompany's own claim

Problem

A 5G radio network has to adjust to changing traffic and radio conditions all day. Fixed settings can leave speed and efficiency on the table.

Approach

Zain Bahrain tested Ericsson's AI-native Scheduler for Link Adaptation on its live network, then deployed it. The tool adjusts to shifts in demand and usage in real time. Zain said it is exploring more AI uses in network and customer operations.

Results

No published figures

Takeaway

The operator ran the vendor's tool on live traffic before a full deployment. It reported gains but did not put numbers on them.
