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

Great write up from TelecomTV about how Orange has provided connectivity at the #parisolympics in 2024, including discussion of how Private Networks have played a key role. One really interesting point from Bertrand ROJAT, Chief Technology and Information Officer at Orange Events was a recommendation in the future to use more Wi-Fi and mobile rather than wired networks. He explained that with fixed networks, one of the biggest challenges facing the French telco is the deinstallation of the cables in a way that allows the assets to be re-used and deployed in its day-to-day production network. This is a concept we at Shared Access have been hearing a lot from businesses and landlords about being more flexible for the future to allow for change – a key point in any walk of life. Great write up, worth a read. https://lnkd.in/ejyPDbBC #connectivity #networks #privatenetworks #private5g #investment #innovation #mnos #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #enterprise #france #towers #masts #inbuilding #property #realestate #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications #technology #sport

Many years ago, my employer at the time, Alcatel, launched one of my all-time favorite ad campaigns, "The Power to Connect." I remember the first time I saw the commercial—it sent shivers down my spine. Fast forward more than 20 years, and I recently celebrated my five-year anniversary with Nokia, which, ironically, through a series of mergers and acquisitions, continues Alcatel's mission by manufacturing some of the world’s most advanced fixed broadband systems. Since my days at Alcatel, I have built my career around the design, construction, and delivery of blazing-fast broadband through Fiber-to-the-Home technology. Today, it's almost impossible to imagine a world without the video connections—both at home and at work—that broadband enables. Broadband service providers, using Nokia’s fiber broadband access systems, can now deliver a staggering 25 Gbps to homes and businesses. Yet, despite these technological advances, I worry that we may not be connecting with our fellow humans as deeply as we should—or as we need to. We now learn, love, shop, and entertain ourselves online, with fewer and fewer face-to-face interactions. Can we truly connect with someone through a screen and camera over a broadband connection, the same way we do in person? What do you think? #Nokia; #Alcatel; #FTTH; Nokia; 25GS-PON MSA; Fiber Broadband Association

when your communication becomes critical not only for transmitting data but why not for sensitive voice calls or video communication ? Where ? Crisis situations, highly confidential exchanges, R&D collaboration which you like to keep particularly protected. With increasing digital collaboration the cyber thread rises constantly. With #Quantum securing collaboration in highly sensitive configuration could be a serious option. #collaboration #workplace

🌐 Wireless internet has become an indispensable part of our daily lives, supporting a wide range of activities from professional communications to streaming entertainment. However, the growing demand for wireless connectivity has led to increased power consumption and carbon emissions. Fortunately, researchers at Central University (CU), IIDM, and CU J&K in India have been working on energy-efficient techniques to address this challenge. Their recent paper published in IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking introduces a hybrid solution that combines visible light communication (VLC) with RF communication, promising reliable indoor communication with lower energy consumption. The team's proposed wireless communication system comprises a transmitter and a receiver module, connected through a VLC channel. By leveraging visible light, transmitted through light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or other artificial light sources, they achieve efficient data transmission with reduced power consumption. Initial evaluations using various simulation platforms have demonstrated stable communication and significant energy savings. The team's approach also holds the potential to enhance mobile device battery life, adding approximately 7 hours of usage time. This research contributes to ongoing efforts to reduce power consumption and electromagnetic radiation, while improving the energy efficiency of wireless communications. The team's findings highlight the promise of their hybrid approach and open the door for further advancements and real-world testing. What are your thoughts on the convergence of visible light communication and RF communication for wireless networks? How do you see this technology shaping the future of indoor wireless communication? #WirelessCommunication #Innovation #EnergyEfficiency #Research #Technology

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

Another reason #euro2024 should be a fun watch – 5G will be involved! Broadcaster RTL Deutschland and Deutsche Telekom are working together to use 5G services via a private 5G network to deliver “data-intensive applications” with the network running in the 3.7GHz to 3.8GHz range and offering up to 100MHz of bandwidth to the broadcaster. Great to see innovation being driven by events in the market to actually test use cases and push barriers rather than there merely being a lot of talk about how great private networks could be. #connectivity #networks #privatenetworks #private5g #investment #innovation #mnos #Germany #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #enterprise #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications #technology #stadiums #sport #football https://lnkd.in/e_QH3wPi

Had a great discussion with Monica Paolini from Senza Fili about Open Networks and Open RAN. We talked about the importance of "Mandatory" Open Interfaces, Test Lab accreditation, and the impact of negativity on Open RAN, leading to the "Open RAN Delay Factor." Accurate market sizing is crucial for ongoing investment in this space. Thanks, Monica Paolini, for an insightful conversation and the launch of your 'QuickFile' podcasts.
