With agentic AI, ANA is evolving to interpret intent,
coordinate specialized agents, and guide increasingly complex workflows. ![Agentic AI diagram](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt168984c536952849/6ab2d9237e66d44cda0164f1/ana-hero-0926.jpg) ## Diagnosing the problem shouldn’t be harder than fixing it Network teams have access to more data than ever, but turning scattered signals into a clear diagnosis still requires time and specialized expertise. Without connected intelligence, troubleshooting remains reactive, manual, and difficult to scale. ### Meet ANA: Turn network intelligence into action ANA is your AI-powered expert built directly into NetCloud Manager — providing instant troubleshooting, technical guidance, and network insights without leaving your dashboard. ![Tech docs](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blte5fddbf2b3e8078a/69e54acbe1bac84035937ae3/list-2.svg) ### Tech docs Instant answers to technical questions. Understand features, configurations, and get step-by-step guidance — all from within NetCloud Manager. ![AI insights](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt989fc4bd371ac157/69e54ad0172cb55e1c85680e/analytics-3.svg) ### AI insights Visualize network trends with auto-generated charts. Spot disruptions, compare traffic, and analyze performance over any time range. ![Troubleshooting](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt1a659444a884f3a2/69e54aa9172cb5814e8567be/wrench.svg) ### Troubleshooting AI-guided diagnostics for device issues, including VPN, connectivity, and cellular. ANA builds a tailored remediation plan and walks you through it. ![Support](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt1674d7985340cc91/69e54a0892392cfba261d69d/support-helpdesk.svg) ### Support If an issue remains unresolved, ANA can open a support case with diagnostics and logs attached. Easy tier-2 escalation at your fingertips. ### How ANA troubleshooting works ANA’s new troubleshooting agent turns plain-language questions into guided diagnosis, recommended fixes, and fast resolution. - **Describe the issue:** Ask ANA a question in plain language. - **Diagnose the cause:** ANA examines device, configuration, and live network information. - **Follow guided resolution:** ANA identifies likely causes and recommends next steps. - **Confirm or escalate:** Resolve the issue or create a support case with diagnostic context. ## Wireless WAN solves the problems wired-only networks create ![Why is this device offline?](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt14596433162f79f5/6ab5a770b29b5d0d8ec6c5a2/flip-tile-half.png) ### Why is this device offline? ANA confirms whether it's truly unreachable, checks for power or WAN issues, and tells you exactly what happened — so you can remotely reboot or escalate with confidence. ![Why does the cellular connection keep dropping?](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt14596433162f79f5/6ab5a770b29b5d0d8ec6c5a2/flip-tile-half.png) ### Why does the cellular connection keep dropping? ANA analyzes your signal strength, carrier health, SIM behavior, and modem firmware — then pinpoints whether the problem is coverage, configuration, or hardware. ![Why am I getting
slow speeds?](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt14596433162f79f5/6ab5a770b29b5d0d8ec6c5a2/flip-tile-half.png) ### Why am I getting
slow speeds? ANA runs a speed test, checks per-application performance, and scans for time-of-day patterns to determine whether it's a carrier issue, a config problem, or peak-hour congestion. ![Why does the VPN keep disconnecting?](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt14596433162f79f5/6ab5a770b29b5d0d8ec6c5a2/flip-tile-half.png) ### Why does the VPN keep disconnecting? ANA compares the live tunnel state against your VPN configuration and checks for common mismatches like gateway addresses, authentication methods, and packet size issues. ![Why is 5G not connecting?](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt14596433162f79f5/6ab5a770b29b5d0d8ec6c5a2/flip-tile-half.png) ### Why is 5G not connecting? ANA checks whether 5G is available at your tower, whether your device supports it, and whether any settings are blocking the connection. ![Why are my settings not taking effect?](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt14596433162f79f5/6ab5a770b29b5d0d8ec6c5a2/flip-tile-half.png) ### Why are my settings not taking effect? ANA traces exactly where a configuration change got stuck — whether it's a sync error, a conflict, or a setting the device silently rejected — and shows you what to fix. ## NetCloud AIOps Complementing ANA is a NetCloud AIOps dashboard which baselines all the traffic unique to a customer’s specific network and displays information graphically so its easy to understand. ### Streamlining network operations with AIOps in NetCloud SASE Network administrators can use the NetCloud AI Ops dashboard to detect performance-driven anomalies before they impact service. - Baselines traffic to detect latency and jitter anomalies specific to that customer's own environment - Provides a sphere of impact for each fault: sites, users, applications/flows - Provides fault detection, isolation, root cause analysis, and recommendations ![NetCloud AI insights dashboard screenshot showing faults over time.](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt2e019706ee8dd615/6a733c120da6738f62579b27/ai-ops-ncm-ai-insights-dashboard-drop.png) ![NetCloud AI insights dashboard screenshot showing secure networks.](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/blt3f71f05c3d602975/6a733cac1f7b5a734c78e012/ai-ops-ncm-network-faults-dashboard-drop.png) ### Intelligent fault resolution with AIOps for wireless WAN Delivers advanced fault detection and remediation capabilities for wireless WAN endpoints to reduce mean time to repair. - Provides an at-a-glance view of device faults — prioritizing critical, moderate, and minor - Shows detailed statistics about each fault so that the administrator con take immediate action - Reduces alert fatigue by surfacing actionable alerts ### Find issues earlier.Resolve them faster. Together, ANA and NetCloud AIOps combine proactive network intelligence with guided troubleshooting — helping teams reduce downtime, simplify operations, and escalate with better context. ![AI Insights screenshot from Ericsson NetCloud Manager.](https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt2588e757607604a2/bltf2b93d4e2acd84e8/6aba6885c60315dd0515f4ef/AI_insights_screenshot.png) **FASTER**issue resolution **REDUCED** network downtime **LESS** operational & support burden **BETTER** informed escalations ## Trust and transparency built in ANA is extensively tested and designed with security, transparency, and administrator oversight at the center of its experience. | | All AI models are hosted within Ericsson's environment.
