In this report, we update our model of the financial value of adding AI, analytics and automation (A3) into a telco’s processes. This report focuses on the impact A3 can have in the BSS, channels, marketing and sales, and has a particular focus on the impact of new GenAI capabilities in these areas.
Edge computing is a key enabling technology for AI and GenAI applications, providing the local processing power and low-latency connectivity needed for real-time decision-making and data processing. This report looks at the trends in investments in edge computing companies – from edge data centres to platforms and applications – and the market outlook for 2025.
Enterprises want on-demand, highly performant connectivity services – and service providers are embracing NaaS delivery and commercial models to meet these expectations. This report provides a case study of disruption in the Indian market by NaaS provider Lightstorm.
Real-time automation is transforming the transport and logistics sector – and growth in demand for enabling technologies such as edge, AI and IoT is expected to be faster than in any other vertical. In this report, we outline strategies geared towards enabling ecosystem players to capitalise on the opportunity by addressing critical challenges and opportunities.
Our latest iteration of the Network edge data centre forecast shows that deployments are gradually bringing this market to life, despite the first early exits happening in 2024. What impact will 5G SA, data regulation and AI have on development of the network edge landscape?
The Telco generative AI adoption tracker is a database of announcements, trials and deployments of generative AI within telcos around the world.
In the latest update, we have added a list of generative AI solutions targeted at telcos.
There is much debate in the industry on the topic of telco edge computing, but little clarity for players within the telecom industry and potential customers on how much capacity will be available.
In this report, we provide insights from our annual industry survey on the state of network edge, including the key triggers for deployments.
Telecom operators want to become techcos, but they need to keep being telcos too. Telecom techcos will be best positioned to find growth in the Coordination Age, but the path is not easy…
Implementing autonomous networks offers an average CSP cost savings and annual revenue uplift of around US$794 million. However, challenges impede progress to realise this financial potential. This report addresses five of the main obstacles faced by CSPs and provides recommendations to help overcome them.
This report analyses the edge computing strategies of the ‘big three’ cloud providers – Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. We assess how successful they have been at developing solutions across the edge continuum, including on-premise, network and regional edge, and determine who leads this nascent market.
Major advancements in artificial intelligence are increasing telco stakeholder expectations. This report assesses where telcos are on their AI adoption journeys and provides recommendations for how they can accelerate their progress.
This report analyses the positioning of each of the three hyperscalers – AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure – in the telco vertical (outside of China). We assess how successful they have been at convincing telcos to migrate their business to the public cloud.
Telcos must take steps internally to become companies underpinned by AI. We look at implications for the organisation, its people and AI governance processes and tools to responsibly root this transition.
Case studies of telcos adopting infraco, servco, or telecom techco models, how they achieved this, and what lessons can be learnt.
This report looks at the AI, automation and analytics a telco needs to effectively deploy, manage and operate private networks and slicing at scale for enterprise customers.
The market for edge IoT presents a significant opportunity for technology solution providers but has yet to reach its full potential. In this report, we present the results from a four-part research series conducted in partnership with Volt Active Data, focusing on how to capture this value. This report addresses critical aspects such as the technical challenges, ecosystem dynamics and ultimately, the pathway to monetisation for edge IoT solutions.
Fibre-to-the-premises is now mainstream, but varies widely across nations in market maturity, industry structure, telco versus altnet roles and government policy. We outline plausible end-state models for FTTP markets.
