Where this applies
Germany, Deutsche Telekom's mobile network. The operator says that since its launch in November 2025 its RAN Guardian agent autonomously triggered over 100 remediation actions at Christmas market events in its first month, and that in live operations it reduced the time needed to manage major events from hours to around a minute, a more than 95% improvement. The agent was co-developed with Google Cloud; the broader MINDR system is only planned. It is the operator describing its own system.
What this means
Capacity adjustments for events — once an engineer's evening of work — are being made by an agent in minutes. Planning the network those adjustments run on stays with engineers.
What it does not yet show
The operator's own figures for one agent; nothing about staffing.
What you can check
Open Deutsche Telekom's 25 February 2026 media information on MINDR and find "from hours to around a minute".
Does it change the assessment?
No. The impact index is never moved by a single event. Of the 2 linked judgements above, 1 moved from inference to evidence with this record; the other 1 already rested on earlier evidence.
