Deutsche Telekom and Google Cloud Collaborate on MINDR Agentic AI for Autonomous Network Operations

Overview

Deutsche Telekom, in partnership with Google Cloud, announced MINDR (Multi-Agentic Intelligent Network Diagnostics & Remediation), a multi-agentic AI system built with Google Gemini models on Vertex AI and developed with Google Cloud's Autonomous Network Operations framework. MINDR correlates signals end-to-end across the RAN, transport, and core network domains to proactively identify service-impacting issues and support autonomous, explainable remediation, shifting operations from reactive troubleshooting to predictive automation. MINDR builds on Deutsche Telekom's RAN Guardian Agent, live in production in Germany since November 2025, which monitors network behavior during high-impact events and traffic surges. RAN Guardian autonomously triggered over 100 remediation actions at Christmas market events in its first month and reduced the time needed to manage major events from hours to around a minute (a more than 95% improvement). For 2026 it identified 237,000 events, including around 130 Carnival events each expected to draw over 10,000 participants, served by 611 mobile sites pre-checked for issues; only 5 sites experienced peak loads, which RAN Guardian optimized during the event. RAN Guardian is now scaling across Deutsche Telekom's European national companies, starting with the Czech Republic and Croatia. MINDR's first production releases are planned for later in 2026.

The challenge

Network quality remains a top concern for consumers when it comes to loyalty to their network operator. As modern networks span multiple domains and technologies, operational teams often rely on fragmented systems that slow root-cause analysis and resolution.

The solution

Deutsche Telekom, in partnership with Google Cloud, announced MINDR (Multi-Agentic Intelligent Network Diagnostics & Remediation), a multi-agentic AI system designed by Deutsche Telekom, developed with Google Cloud's Autonomous Network Operations framework and built with Google Gemini models on Vertex AI. MINDR correlates signals end-to-end across network domains, including the RAN, transport and core domains, to proactively identify service-impacting issues and support autonomous, explainable remediation. It builds on Deutsche Telekom's RAN Guardian Agent, built with Google's Gemini models and already live in production in Germany, which monitors network behavior during high-impact events and traffic surges. MINDR operates as a collaborative multi-agent system and intends to utilize the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol for agent coordination, subject to its availability, with first production releases planned for later in 2026.

Reported business value

Since its launch in November 2025, RAN Guardian Agent has autonomously triggered over 100 remediation actions at Christmas market events during its first month, and has reduced the time needed to manage major events from hours to around a minute, a more than 95% improvement. For 2026 it has identified 237,000 events, including around 130 Carnival events each expected to draw over 10,000 participants, served by 611 different mobile sites pre-checked for issues by RAN Guardian; only 5 sites experienced peak loads, which RAN Guardian optimized during the event. Following its successful rollout in Germany, RAN Guardian is now scaling across Deutsche Telekom's European national companies, starting with the Czech Republic and Croatia.
