Which areas are Telcos focusing on when it comes to AI implementation? Omdia has identified four key domains where Telcos are concentrating their efforts based on public deals : customer, network, security, and cross-industry use cases. Network performance management stands out as the top priority for Telcos in AI, with a focus on solutions like energy management, automation, and anomaly detection. Leading this domain is Ericsson, with its cognitive portfolio software. Virtual assistants are also gaining traction, transitioning from traditional chatbots to LLM-Based agents. Telcos are striking deals with tech giants like Microsoft and Google in this area. Ooredoo Group and Vodafone are at the forefront of integrating AI capabilities into their operations, sales, and marketing strategies. The Q1 2024 data reveals a significant increase in AI public deals as Telcos increasingly leverage AI, with a notable shift towards neural networks versus traditional machine learning applications. https://lnkd.in/gCeMvBsj

French startup Skynopy, which hopes to make connectivity-as-a-service a commercial reality, could close a number of deals this year ahead of expectations. The company, which is led by CEO Pierre Bertrand, and CTO Antonin Hirsch, both former directors at Loft Orbital, recently closed another $3.1 million in funding. In an interview with Via Satellite, Bertrand said the company has already signed three contracts and has sent a further five commercial proposals being under consideration. “The contracts we have signed have been with satellite operators, integrators that want to improve their connectivity setup,” Bertrand says. “The choice of the right hardware, the right set of ground stations, and then helping choosing the right modulation and protocols. These are the ones we have signed and we have a number of proposals out there. This is for in-orbit operations with a set of ground stations we are currently managing. If we get the contracts for the five proposals we have sent, it will be beyond expectation.” #connectivity #connectivitymatters #military #communications #security #networksecurity #newspace #newspaceeconomy #strategy #constellations #satellite #space #satelliteoperatos #satcoms #MILSATCOM #GOVSATCOM #satellitesystems #satelliteoperations # #telecommunications #spaceindustry #LowEarthOrbit #LEO #MEO #GEO #multiorbit #sda #megaconstellations #spaceindustry #esa #nasa #eu #europe  #resilience #oneweb #starlink #kuipers #o3b #mpower #spacex #telesat #smallsats #ADS  #kuiper #spacecraft #internetofthings #development #spacedata #SES  #EUTELSAT #lightspeed  #iris2 #multiorbit #hybridnetworks #MichaelHadjitheodosiou https://lnkd.in/ec3WaM6F

Let's talk a bit about innovation for our networks and how we're thinking about it at a time when AI is both impacting our tech stacks and also, becoming the killer App. Our experts are balancing the needs for generational jump with continuous innovation, agility and ability to adapt quickly to new needs. At Orange, value creation for our customers and delivering on sustainability across its environmental, social and economic dimensions are driving our innovation. Consequently, they need to be the core motivations for the design of future networks and digital technologies. In this moment when the discussions on the future of mobile networks beyond 2030 are starting in standardization, it is key that we think carefully about the value we want to deliver as an industry in the 2030-2040 timeframe, how our networks are going to leverage and power the software and AI revolutions upon us, and how future technology evolutions will help us to evolve our infrastructures in a way compatible with our commitments to be Net Zero by 2040. Our views on these ideas and technology design implications are presented in our white paper Mobile Network Technology Evolutions Beyond 2030: https://lnkd.in/eUycQJxf  Let us know what you think, and how you would like your digital future to be!

The 3GPP Stage 1 Workshop on IMT-2030 Use Cases, held in May 2024, aimed to bring together stakeholders to define potential applications and requirements for the next generation of mobile communication technology, #6G. The GSMA, a global trade body for mobile network operators, likely presented a proposal outlining their perspective on 6G research and development (R&D). The GSMA proposal focused on outlining their vision for 6G R&D. This include: 🟥 Key R&D areas: Identifying critical areas for technological advancements in 6G. Examples include network performance enhancements like higher bandwidth, lower latency, and improved network slicing capabilities. 🟥 Collaboration framework: The GSMA have proposed a framework for collaboration between various stakeholders involved in 6G R&D, including network operators, equipment vendors, research institutions, and regulatory bodies. This would ensure coordinated efforts and avoid duplication. 🟥 Industry needs: The proposal have emphasized the importance of considering industry needs in 6G development. This involve collaborating with different industries to identify specific use cases and ensure the technology addresses their challenges and opportunities. I like Slide 12 - #5G has a long way to go! Five years since first 5G deployments, many operators have not deployed 5G at all. Beyond enhanced mobile broadband, new attributes of 5G, are in 5G Standalone. Only 47 operators have deployed 5G SA, concentrated in 19 countries Follow us on Kaneshwaran Govindasamy and Global 5G Evolution Click comment box. #Subscribe our #youtube channel Check out this week's #5G Conference on XCHANGING IDEAS #49

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗚𝗦𝗠 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗧𝗫 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗜𝗗] The engineers in charge of GSM realized that during a phone call, there are moments of silence when people are simply listening and not speaking. These moments were wasting precious bandwidth, so they devised a clever plan to handle this. They introduced a new system called Discontinuous Transmission, or DTX was like a smart guardian for the network. It had the ability to recognize when someone on the call wasn't speaking and could temporarily stop transmitting their voice data. This meant that during those silent moments, the network could save bandwidth and reduce power consumption, making the system more efficient and the battery life of mobile phones longer. But there was a challenge. How would the receiving end know that the silence wasn't a sign of a dropped call or a connection issue? Enter the Silence Indicator, or SID. SID was a special kind of signal that DTX would send during periods of silence. It was like a gentle whisper from the transmitter to the receiver, saying, "Don't worry, everything is fine. It's just that no one is speaking right now." So, whenever someone stopped speaking, DTX would spring into action, pausing the transmission of voice data and sending SID frames instead. These SID frames contained background noise information, maintaining the natural sound of the call and assuring the listener that the connection was still alive. This clever combination of DTX and SID made the GSM network more efficient and reliable. Calls felt more natural, and mobile devices enjoyed longer battery life. #GSM #2G #MobileCommunications #Telecom #DTX #SilenceDetection #SID #NetworkEfficiency #TelecomTechnology #WirelessCommunication #MobileNetwork #BatteryLife #BandwidthOptimization

5G standalone is a profitable innovation platform Examples of differentiated service through 5G standalone and midband TDD deployment are appearing in advanced markets. At the same time, communications service providers (CSPs) struggle to find a killer application that may sustain the required investment. But what if we look at 5G standalone as an enabler for operators’ platform economy? Service-based differentiation on top of 5G standalone is already happening, with examples spanning from priority passes to gaming, enterprise premium plans and industrial deployments. Our study on market potential in a dense urban environment, having Madrid downtown as a showcase, demonstrates an attractive business case for CSP first movers. https://lnkd.in/eK-ZdCmZ #5G #5GSA #PlatformEconomy #Innovation Gianni Ferranti Nuria Armesto Martín Julio Muñoz Bravo Juanjo González Fernández Alvise Carlon Camilla Järvall Francesco Peluso
