With the rise of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools, artificial intelligence is having a major moment.
This webinar will discuss:
How operators are rethinking network and business strategies, with an eye on distributing compute to reside alongside high-value, latency-sensitive applications
What the outlook is for AI...
AWS is working to help operators understand use cases, assemble an ecosystem and accelerate time-to-value
Despite the hundreds of billions of dollars operators around the world have pumped into deploying 5G networks, service revenues have largely remained stagnant. While there’s industry consensus that there’s no...
Mobile network operators are taking initiatives to deploy 5G faster and make it accessible to more and more users. However this comes with a host of new challenges such as ensuring adequate coverage, capacity and throughput, managing network complexity and interoperability, and balancing costs...
As manufacturing players decide whether or not to adopt 5G, one of the primary factors is how much it costs to deploy and operate these systems in terms of capital and operating expenditures, and how long it will take to achieve return on investment....
The why and how of Open RAN, capex/opex savings and through honest collaboration, have been pretty well sorted. Now it’s time to leverage the capabilities of virtualized, open, multi-vendor solutions to deliver innovation.
For operators, hosting radio workloads in cloud environments can facilitate a host...
In order to keep pace with today’s rising technology demands and higher compute thresholds, the transition to 415V/240 VAC is fast becoming an ideal solution for data center operators who need more power and efficiency at a lower overall cost. But flipping the switch...
How do we do more in less time? It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves across all aspects of our work and personal lives, and no doubt wish we had the answer. How can we complete our workout in 45 minutes instead of 60?...
In order to keep pace with today’s rising technology demands and higher compute thresholds, the transition to 415V/240 VAC is fast becoming an ideal solution for data center operators who need more power and efficiency at a lower overall cost. But flipping the switch...
ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile Internet, has launched a revolutionary 5G energy saving solution, PowerPilot, in a bid to help operators realize higher energy efficiency, lower carbon footprint and achieve...

The future of telecom is much more than an advance from 4G to 5G. The entire industry is being upgraded. It’s no longer just a vehicle for voice and data. There’s a new space for telecoms and businesses to collaborate...
Mobile operators are transforming their networks to keep up with the demands of next-generation connectivity and user experience. Next-generation wireless networks must have the flexibility and expandability to support billions of connected devices, new services, and applications that will drive new business efficiencies and...
The evolution to 5G will see an unprecedented increase in network complexity - from new uses cases to different service classes, network function virtualization and large volumes of data. Today’s complex networks are designed to being operated by humans and their complexity is expected...
The Use of “Smart Mirrors” are Critical to Meet the Economical Demands
Simply put, 5G cannot be rolled-out economically without effective low-cost reflectors and relays. It is possible for 5G carriers to save at least 30% of their Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) and reduce their Operating...
SNS Research report forecasts NFV, SDN market growth
A new report from SNS Research suggests the service provider network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) market is expected to swell at an annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of about 45% over the next three...
In today’s mobile networks, revenue per transported bit is constantly decreasing, while the complexity of the network and traffic volumes are increasing. Hence, driving operational efficiency and reducing OPEX are of paramount importance to evolving network operators. One of the key areas for gaining...
Verizon investing in virtualization to save $10 billion by 2020
Verizon sees network virtualization as a “robust opportunity” to cut the costs anchored to telcos by $10 billion over the course of four years, said John Stratton, EVP and president of global operations for Verizon...
Wireless networks are delivering more and more mobile data, but nonetheless carriers are managing to drive down operating costs. This webinar will explore several of the technologies and solutions that are helping operators run their networks more efficiently and drive down their "cost per...
Change is the only certainty for the fast-moving wireless industry, so mobile network operators want to focus on flexible operating expenses instead of huge capital investments in technologies that could become obsolete. How is the wireless infrastructure industry responding? This report will look at...
Service assurance provides 360-degree network visibility to optimize customer experience while reducing OPEX through NFV
As networks evolve to deliver increasingly complex services and to meet the challenges of exploding data and eroding revenues, communications service providers (CSPs) are racing to implement virtualization strategies. The...
Predictive maintenance (PdM) is a key industrial internet of things use case, according to analyst
As the industrial internet of things brings automation to an array of verticals, the as-a-service model is evolving to fill an emerging market for the hardware--sensors and other devices--that make...
Telecom Software Series: Policy Control and Charging - Waiting to be Virtualized Editorial Feature Report
Swimming in a sea of SDN, NFV, PCC, PCRF, PCEF, EPC, DPI virtual alphabet soup? You are not alone. RCR Wireless News’ Dan Meyer and Allie Winter untangle the implications of...
According to a recent LTE capex and opex forecast published by iGR, Tier One operators (AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile USA) and Regional and Small Operators (RSOs) are projected to spend by 2017 $37 billion in LTE capex and $56 billion in opex.
"US capex...
