There’s no doubt that the expansion of the IoT and the arrival of 5G will require heavy investment in the telecommunications sector. So operators will be looking for ways to maximize ROI as quickly as possible.

While it is certain that 5G will not be the final iteration of telecommunications technology, it’s important to fully understand and exploit its potential before looking to future developments.

As long as there have been computer networks, there have been attempts to hack them and exploit weaknesses for commercial gain. With 5G, the growing popularity of cloud computing and the expansion of the Internet of Things, telcos are facing new variations of the old problem of security.

The Internet of Things and 5G have raised the complexity of telecommunications network management beyond the level where traditional methods are effective. It’s time to bring AI into play for automated network monitoring.

Is it possible to deliver radically different versions of the same service to individual clients from a single physical network? Thanks to network slicing, the answer is yes…

Today’s telcos need to reshape their thinking in order to add true value to their services. With voice, text and data packages now the norm, that value could be what differentiates them from the crowd and gives them a valuable edge over their competitors.

What comes first – technology or strategy? When considering IoT business applications, it’s definitely the latter.

Mobile World Congress 2019 brought the telecommunications industry together to discuss high-speed 5G networks, IoT, AI and big data. They discovered not only how the near future could look for telcos, but also the great leaps forward that 5G and IoT technologies have facilitated.

Telcos are facing a major challenge: today’s “always on” customers are demanding more, and they want it faster. OTTs such as Amazon are in prime position to meet these demands, but that doesn’t mean that CSPs can’t re-imagine the game and transform into winning digital service providers
