This solution is the first African-ready autonomous network designed to self-optimise mobile Radio Access Networks (RAN) and built specifically for the unique complexities of Africa’s connectivity landscape.
BARCELONA, Spain, March 3, 2026 / — Cassava Technologies (www.CassavaTechnologies.com), a global technology leader of African heritage, has announced the launch of Cassava Autonomous Network, an agentic solution designed to significantly improve network performance across Africa.
The solution is the first African-ready autonomous network designed to self-optimise mobile Radio Access Networks (RAN), addressing the unique connectivity challenges across the continent.
Powered by NVIDIA AI infrastructure, NVIDIA NIM microservices, and the NVIDIA Network Configuration Blueprint, Cassava Autonomous Network introduces policy-driven automation that replaces manual network adjustments with continuous and intelligent optimisation. The system can reduce operational bottlenecks and increase efficiency by up to 75%.
Cassava Autonomous Network operates on CAIMEx, a localised multi-model platform that provides unified access to leading AI models through regional AI factories.
“Cassava Autonomous Network combines NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure with the inclusivity of Africa’s networks’ needs and Cassava’s extensive experience in the telco industry,” said Ahmed El Beheiry, Group COO and Group Chief Technology & AI Officer at Cassava Technologies. “With this solution, we are delivering a significant step toward intelligent, self-healing autonomous networks that improve coverage, quality, profitability, and customer experience across the continent.”
African telecom operators currently manage increasingly dense and complex networks under tight resource constraints. While 4G remains dominant across the continent, according to the GSMA 2024 report, 5G deployment continues to expand, making network optimisation a daily operational challenge.
Cassava Autonomous Network addresses this issue by automating network optimisation processes and reducing repair time for minor issues from four days to approximately 35 minutes. The platform is also designed to operate across multi-vendor environments and all network generations including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G, supporting legacy, hybrid, and cloud-native deployments.
With the launch of Cassava Autonomous Network, the company reaffirmed its commitment to advancing digital transformation across Africa through innovative technology solutions.
“In today’s multi-vendor landscape, flexibility is the ultimate currency. Cassava Autonomous Network provides a truly open architecture that respects existing RAN investments while introducing advanced agentic AI capabilities. Our solution allows telecom operators to supercharge their hardware systems,” concluded El Beheiry.
