Deutsche Telekom deployed an AI agent powered by Google Cloud’s Gemini platform, designed to improve its mobile network through faster analysis and rapid troubleshooting.

Developed in partnership with Google Cloud and introduced at MWC25 Barcelona, the operator claims its RAN Guardian Agent marks a pioneering step toward autonomous, self-healing networks.

The operator stated the agent continuously monitors mobile network performance, identifies anomalies and autonomously takes corrective actions.

It consists of several specialised AI agents working in tandem. One agent scans public sources, like social media and event directories, to anticipate events which could impact network load.

Another agent assesses network readiness and real-time capacity, while a third executes optimisation measures such as reallocating resources or adjusting configuration.

The system can proactively recommend and implement network optimisations before issues impact customers, ensuring service even during major public events.

The agent runs Google Cloud’s Gemini 2.5 platform, and uses the hyperscaler’s CloudRun, BigQuery and Firestore offerings.

Abdu Mudesir, board member for product and technology at Deutsche Telekom, stated the company is the “first network operator to rely on a highly developed AI agent in network management”.

In May, Deutsche Telekom signed a long-term agreement with Google Cloud to integrate AI and cloud solutions into its networks and business applications.
