As real-time, AI-driven workloads scale, cloud-native systems are falling short at the edge. This report explores why edge-native platforms that are lightweight, modular and purpose-built for decentralised environments are emerging as the architectural foundation for the next generation of intelligent, autonomous systems.
As CSPs transition into the Coordination Age, they face critical challenges in adopting cloud-native architectures and transforming operational models to meet the demands of enhanced connectivity and resource optimisation. This report provides practical strategies to navigate these challenges, with a focus on simplifying RAN transformation, enabling agility and unlocking new opportunities for innovation and growth.
Taken in isolation, investment in 5G has thus far failed to deliver on its promises – both technically and commercially. In this combined market forecast for edge computing, private networks and telecom APIs until 2030, we identify how telcos can leverage all their assets to help deliver on the original ambitions of 5G.
At MWC 2025, we held the Digital Health Summit in collaboration with the GSMA. At the event, we explored the opportunities and the challenges in smart hospitals, IoT, direct-to-consumer services and AI in healthcare. This report outlines the key takeaways and insights from the summit.
Enterprise demand for network-as-a-service should be the catalyst for telcos to embrace the platform mindset. This report acts as a practical guide for telecom operators looking to capture opportunities with new B2B NaaS services.
This report explores private network delivery models – on-premises, hybrid and network slicing. It also offers insights into deployment strategies, market opportunities and actionable recommendations for telcos to address diverse enterprise connectivity needs across industries.
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.
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.
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.
Quantum technology is developing fast and government policy announcements are increasing. There are opportunities, and risks, for the telco sector, and you do not need to be a quantum physicist to learn what it all means.
We leverage our extensive research on the industry to advise telcos, systems integrators, managed service providers and technology vendors on how to develop successful private networking propositions. All of these players will need to collaborate in order to navigate complex enterprise demands and achieve measurable transformation benefits for their customers.
The telecoms industry is awash with talk of the revenue opportunity from network exposure. This report highlights the main findings from our recently released network API monetisation market forecast tool, focusing on the use cases and APIs which will generate long-term growth.
Telcos have several key assets that can help insurers to harness advanced technology and new data sources to become more proactive and create new value in an increasingly unstable and unpredictable world.
Results from our survey of over 200 enterprises found a growing interest for sustainability services. We outline actionable strategies telcos can employ to meet this demand and foster green revenue growth
The utilities sector is a promising opportunity area for private LTE and 5G networks. But it is not an easy one for telcos to address, as utility companies often deploy and manage networking technology in-house or via specialist service providers to satisfy service requirements. This report examines the sector realities.
New players, technologies and business models are raising the prospect of valuable, new satellite connectivity services. But how credible are the new opportunities and what do operators need to do?
AI applications will require low-latency, local compute for rapid inferencing and large scale data collection, triage, and engineering. Edge compute will therefore play a key role in AI app delivery. However it’s not just about infrastructure – commercial scale for edge AI will depend on effective ecosystem collaboration models.
