Astrotel launches autonomous network monitoring solution

Sydney-based connectivity technology company Astrotel has launched an autonomous network monitoring and remediation solution.

The product, Astrotel AI Connect, was developed in partnership with Canopus Networks, a company spun out of the University of New South Wales (UNSW) .

It incorporates eight patents in software defined networking and artificial intelligence (AI), as well as UNSW’s research and patent into behavioural models for IoT devices in commercial environments.

The solution is able to autonomously monitor, repair, and secure networks in real-time, along with the applications, devices, sensors, and robotics operating on them, according to Astrotel.

It uses Canopus’ SuperNetflow technology for deep observability into telco network data, and agentic AI for autonomous reasoning and decision making, enabling the network to act as a unified platform for managing applications, devices, sensors, and robotics – individually and as an interconnected system.

Astrotel founder Elizabeth Aris said AI Connect simplifies network and device management for commercial properties.

“By combining broadband and dedicated fibre connectivity with Agentic AI and advanced behavioural models from UNSW’s research, we’ve developed a solution that helps businesses manage their networks, applications and connected devices without the need for a technician to trouble shoot an issue in many cases," she said.

The product autonomously tracks network and device performance, identifies inefficiencies, and rectifies issues in real-time, as behavioural models learn what constitutes normal versus abnormal behaviour, enabling the platform to take actions to resolve problems autonomously.

Canopus co-founder Professor Vijay Sivaraman added that Astrotel AI Connect demonstrates how its SuperNetflow technology incorporating advanced behavioural models can be applied to address real-world challenges in network management.

"This partnership with Astrotel has enabled us to deliver a practical solution for businesses managing complex connectivity environments," he said.
