Digital transformation is at the heart of many organisations’ core strategies, as leaders explore how to solve traditional business problems with innovative digital solutions. STL Partners believes digital twins is an emerging technology that, by unlocking the potential of other rapidly developing technologies (such as IoT and AI), could play a significant role in driving transformation. But what is a digital twin?
In this webinar we’ll look at key digital twins use cases, how they are delivering value to global enterprises, and explore telcos’ potential role in the ecosystem.
There’ll be Q&A as part of the session.
Presenters:
Darius Singh, Consultant at STL Partners
Paul Green, CSO and Director at Iotic Labs, named as one of the top five tech start ups to watch in 2019 for IoT. Paul is also Associate Senior Analyst at STL Partners

Virtualisation (NFV) and SDN fundamentally change network infrastructure and service agility. And telcos that act early could gain an advantage. In reality, few operators have taken up the challenge.
So what’s the right approach to match your business needs? How can you gauge when’s the right time to move – and how do you find a helicopter view of what’s happening in the market? Which vendors are selling which solutions, to whom - and why?
In this webinar, we’ll show how - with 5G on the horizon - telco virtualisation is at a tipping point. And look at data from the NFV deployment tracker which aggregates information on commercial deployments globally.
Presenters: Matt Pooley, Senior Consultant and David Martin, Associate Senior Analyst
Date: Wednesday 22 May
Time: 3:30-4:30pm (London time)

Broadcast: 30 April 2019
Voice-activated speakers have people talking about smart homes again. But Alexa is just a warm-up act for the main event. In this session, we looked at the opportunities for telcos, what smart householders really want and how best to provide it. And we heard directly from an international operator about their experience of working in this space.
The webinar was built on complementary research Can telcos create a compelling smart home? in our (Re)Connecting with Consumers research stream.
Presenters:
David Pringle, Associate Senior Analyst, STL Partners
Thomas Rockmann, Vice-President Consumer IoT and Co-Lead Smart Home Project, Deutsche Telekom
Amy Cameron, Senior Analyst, STL Partners (moderator)

In this invitation-only session, we looked at trends and challenges for the sector for the next few years. This covered changes to the global digital economy, how telcos can work in the enterprise space and some of the zeitgeist opportunities such as smart homes.
Our track record in horizon scanning is strong: a recent example is the recent FT article on telecom income in Europe - you might remember that we’d called this in our 2012 research.

Broadcast: 11 December 2018
In this webinar we looked at the opportunities in distributed cloud for telcos and how they could be realised.
Applications developers need to engage to get the most out of the possibilities. We showed a new edge use case related to augmented reality (chosen by user vote ahead of the session). And we looked at the effective business models.
Our guest speaker from MobiledgeX, a leading mobile edge innovator, talked about what they’re achieving and where they see telcos can monetise existing infrastructure investments. Including SDN/NFV transformations and more future-facing investments like MEC.
Presenters:
Dalia Adib, Senior Consultant, STL Partners

This webinar covered our predictions for 5G.
We shared our assessment of the opportunities and barriers - including how and when it will impact different markets. How 5G will change the shape of the industry may not be what you expect, especially how it combines with other technologies and industry trends.
Topics include:
* Realistic deployment and uptake timelines
* Verticals and use-cases
* Role of enterprise / private networks
* Fit with NFV, WiFi, edge computing and AI
* Impact of geopolitics, spectrum regulation and lobbying
Presenters:
Andrew Collinson, Research Director, STL Partners
Dean Bubley, Associate Analyst, STL Partners
