ABotEdu+ · The AI-Native Network Lab

Learn, build and trust AI-native networks.
5G today, 6G ready.

A hands-on lab where learners run, break, analyse and fix real Core networks with the same test and AI tools the industry uses. Students don't just watch a call flow. They make it fail, capture the PCAPs and use AI to work out why.

Why AI and Core

6G is an AI and Core question

3GPP's Release 20 study is weighing three directions for the 6G Core. Every one puts AI at the centre, and two build on today's 5G Core. What learners master now carries forward.

1

Separate AI domain

An AI domain sits beside an evolved 5G-style Core and handles intent and AI services.

Learners needEvolved 5GC, intent flows, how the AI and packet domains interact
2

AI inside network functions

AI is built into, or exposed by, dedicated 6G network functions.

Learners needNF design, NWDAF and beyond, AI-driven NF behaviour
3

AI-agent-driven connectivity

AI agents coordinate network procedures and tools directly.

Learners needAgent design, tool use, guardrails, validating unpredictable AI

These are study options, not a decided architecture. ABotEdu+ teaches all three side by side and refreshes content as the specs mature.

The platform

Inside the AI-Native Network Lab

A learning layer on top of a carrier-grade Core test tool (ABot) and an agentic root cause analysis platform (ABot AI). Real tools, real artefacts, guided all the way.

LEARN · ABotEdu Learning layer Courses · guided labs · AI tutor · Prompt-to-Lab · grading · LMS and SSO BREAK · ABot A Core you can break Real NFs · 3GPP call flows · traffic and slicing · fault and threat injection ANALYSE AND TRUST · ABot AI AI you can trust Agents diagnose and explain · digital twin and trust gate check first

Real, not built for school

Industry-grade Core tooling used for 3GPP conformance, interop and performance testing. Real PCAPs, logs and KPIs.

AI on real network data

Learn AI where telecom actually uses it: diagnosis, prediction and agents, on labelled fault data.

6G ready, without the hype

Mapped to 3GPP Rel-20 study directions, ETSI digital twin work and TM Forum autonomous networks.

AI-native labs

From 5G Core lab to AI-Native Network Lab

Every ABot platform capability becomes a hands-on lab, with guided exercises, ground-truth answers and auto-grading.

Bring your RAN

Your RAN is the radio. ABotEdu+ is the brain.

Many labs already own radio hardware but lack Core automation, curriculum and AI. ABotEdu+ plugs into what you have over N2/N3. No lab yet? Start software-only.

YOUR RAN, ANY OF CoE labs Partner RAN kits OAI / srsRAN on SDR Simulated gNBno hardware needed N2 / N3 ABotEdu+ learning layer courses · guided labs · AI tutor · assessment 5G CORE + ABot ✓ All Core NFs ✓ 3GPP test cases ✓ Traffic and slicing ✓ Failure and threat injection ✓ Intent-to-test ABot AI ✓ RCA agents ✓ Anomaly detection ✓ Digital twin ✓ Trust gate Curriculum, Core automation, failure scenarios and AI on top of the radio you own

Where jobs are heading

AI-native operations is what 5G-Advanced and 6G roles need.
