Telcos spent years being told it was becoming irrelevant. Hyperscalers were eating its lunch, OTT players were hollowing out its revenues, and its destiny was to be a glorified utility. …

Quantum computing is moving from long-term promise to practical telecom experimentation, writes quantum software company Classiq. As operators tackle complex optimisation, forecasting and security challenges, early pilots are helping build …

As enterprises move from AI assistants to autonomous agents, Nick Earle, executive chairman of Eseye, argues that success will depend less on compute power and more on access to trusted, …

Cisco says enterprises must move beyond WPA2 to WPA3 and strengthen wireless security through SAE, forward secrecy, and Wi-Fi 7 – to enable resilient zero-trust-ready enterprise mobility across modern networks …

AI’s growth is increasingly constrained not by chips but by infrastructure, from data storage and energy demand to connectivity bottlenecks. As data centers expand, the weakest link shifts, threatening to …

As AI becomes the public face of business, organizations must validate performance, security, and cost efficiency at scale. Comprehensive testing under realistic workloads is essential to ensure reliable, secure, and …

Runtime security is becoming a network architecture imperative for telecom operators, writes Nokia. To detect threats earlier without compromising performance, security must deliver continuous visibility, operate predictably under load, and …

Ambient IoT has proven battery-free sensing is possible, but enterprise adoption now depends on something bigger: reliable network infrastructure. As deployments scale, trusted, continuous visibility—not the tag itself—will determine which …

As India accelerates its digital transformation, resilient, intelligent connectivity is becoming essential for global enterprises seeking to scale operations, ensure business continuity, and unlock opportunities across the country’s fast-growing AI, …

Telecom operators must rethink workforce training as networks and customer expectations evolve. Immersive, AI-driven roleplay and realistic practice environments can improve retention, strengthen customer-facing skills, and prepare distributed teams to …

Autonomous networks driven by AI are exposing the limits of legacy OSS built for static infrastructure. Operators now need an evolved, ontology-driven control layer that can unify fragmented data, govern …

As telecom operators embrace D2D satellite connectivity, the industry is moving closer to closing persistent coverage gaps, extending resilient mobile access to remote regions, and ensuring geography no longer determines …

Cisco’s recent SD-WAN vulnerabilities are not isolated flaws but symptoms of a deeper architectural weakness across modern networks. As threat actors increasingly target centralized control-plane systems in enterprise and telecom …

As satellite constellations reshape global connectivity, attention is shifting beyond internet access toward compute in orbit. The challenge now is understanding how space-based infrastructure will integrate with terrestrial networks to …

Critical communications networks are increasingly being pushed beyond the limits of single-bearer design, as operators in defence, utilities and public services face growing demand for resilient, always-on connectivity across unpredictable …

Why CSPs are losing the customer relationship betting on half the experience and where they can grab the other half. Just three weeks ago, Verizon CEO Dan Schulman said the …

The EU’s decision to delay high-risk AI Act compliance until 2027 gives organisations crucial breathing room, but the compliance clock is still ticking. Apu Pavithran, CEO of Hexnode, says companies …

As California’s universities push the boundaries of research and innovation, shared spectrum technologies like CBRS are the basis of essential infrastructure. Christopher Lupo of California Polytechnic State University argues that …

As telecom capex contracts, the industry is being forced into a more efficient model. Some networks are already operating that way. For the past decade, the telecom industry has been …

The IoT industry has spent years measuring its own success in numbers of devices. Connected devices deployed. Devices under management. Devices projected. It’s a satisfying number to put on a …

At one stage the IoT market was dominated by the automotive industry, with fleet management and telematics generating the bulk IoT traffic. At that time the business model for the …

For years, Communication Service Providers (CSPs) have poured billions into building out 5G Standalone (SA) infrastructure with plenty of hype into the speed and capacity it would bring, but without …

AI-RAN (Artificial Intelligence-Radio Access Network) has rapidly evolved from a nascent idea to a defining area of transformation for the industry. The technology, which embeds AI directly into wireless infrastructure, …

The global voice ecosystem is at an inflection point. For more than a decade, the rise of robocalls, spoofing, and impersonation scams has steadily eroded consumer confidence in answering the …

PoC combines instant radio-style communication with wide-area mobile coverage, addressing the limits of both technologies. By enabling real-time group messaging, enhanced safety and integrated services, PoC systems improve productivity and …
