How telecommunications operators are evolving by transforming PCAP data from a simple troubleshooting tool into a foundational asset for artificial intelligence. By feeding these granular packet captures into machine learning models, providers can move beyond reactive maintenance and instead proactively optimize their infrastructure. This integration allows for the real-time detection of anomalies and the automated management of traffic spikes, ultimately leading to lower operational costs and a significantly more reliable experience for the end user.
