Comarch, Hatif Libya, and Makman Technology Consulting have signed a memorandum of understanding to advance their collaboration on autonomous network development, marking the next phase of their strategic partnership focused on network automation and operational transformation.
Hatif Libya, a subsidiary of the state-owned Libyan Post, Telecommunications and Information Technology Holding Company (LPTIC), will continue working with Comarch’s automation platforms following earlier successful deployments involving zero-touch operations and network automation. The new agreement shifts the collaboration from validation to execution, outlining a roadmap to progressively increase network autonomy across the service lifecycle.
Makman, a TM Forum-recognised consultancy specialising in digital transformation and AIOps readiness, will support the initiative through standards-based automation aligned with TM Forum frameworks and open digital architecture. The partners aim to ensure scalability, interoperability, and long-term sustainability as automation expands across network operations.
Beyond Libya, the collaboration is intended to produce a reference implementation for autonomous networks that could serve as a benchmark for telecom operators across Africa pursuing similar transformation programmes. The initiative focuses on improving operational efficiency while enabling future service innovation through higher levels of network intelligence and automation.
