Livio Silva, Chief Technology Strategist TME, LATAM CSPs at Red Hat Mexico, told Convergencia that agentic AI has moved beyond being a laboratory concept: he described it as the piece that will allow operators to manage the extreme complexity of 5G-Advanced networks and the early stages of 6G.
In this path, Red Hat’s role is “to be the fabric on which these agents operate.” In other words, the hybrid platform that enables those agents to have security, data sovereignty, and portability.
Among the concrete examples shown at Red Hat’s stand at MWC Barcelona 2026, network autonomy stands out: an agent can detect a service degradation in a node, then run a diagnostic, check historical data, and reconfigure parameters without human intervention (AIOps). A second case involves monetization, through intelligent APIs that allow external developers to securely consume network services via agents.
At the Barcelona event, the concept of Red Hat AI Factory was presented. “In the same way as an assembly line within a factory, a methodology is followed so that clients can be agile in implementing agentic AI,” Silva explained.
