AI-driven automation can mean lower costs, fewer outages, and a fundamentally new playbook for scale, speed, and resilience What if your telecom network could heal itself, predict outages before they happen, and deliver hyper personalized support 24/7 — without a …

Quantum-safe security, quantum sensing at the edge, and quantum computing for optimization make distribution networks more secure, situationally aware, and economically efficient 5G Advanced (3GPP Release 18) is giving utilities the deterministic connectivity they’ve been waiting for. The next unlock comes from weaving quantum technologies …

AI agents are designed to work within the messy, high-volume environments that define telecom operations Telecom carriers have always worked under pressure to keep networks reliable, scalable, and secure. But today, those pressures are reaching a tipping point. As infrastructure …

Telematics has evolved into critical fleet infrastructure, demanding secure, scalable, precise, and low-power solutions to optimize costs, ensure compliance, enhance safety, and meet rising customer expectations in complex, large-scale deployments. Fleet tracking has moved from operational nice-to-have to boardroom priority. …

The Quantumverse Era represents an extraordinary inflection point in human history, one that will be remembered as the moment when humanity transcended beyond the limitations of its previous technological, economic, and creative horizons. This is not a gradual shift; it …

Eighty-four percent of all call traffic between top U.S. telecom providers was signed and verified using STIR/SHAKEN protocols in the first half of 2025 Through a combination of policy momentum, IP modernization and real-time analytics, key telecom industry stakeholders — …

Only 4% of CSPs report having reached Level 4 autonomy today, and just 23% expect to get there by 2026 Over the past few years, many CSPs have echoed a familiar line: “We’ll reach Level 4 autonomy by 2025.” Well, …

NaaS enables CSPs to broaden their digital ecosystems and capture network API-driven revenue Enterprises want to consume network services the way they utilize cloud resources, with self-service options and rapid service activation at the click of a button. According to …

The CBRS-GAA 80 MHz spectrum is poised to become one of the most valuable mid-bands globally Despite the tiered spectrum-sharing system and regulated transmission power levels, the Citizen Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) remains one of the most attractive spectrums for …

In the 6G era, AI agents will issue requests, negotiate prices, and buy and sell network slices or compute, connectivity, and energy in real time We live in a world dominated by digital services. From a technological perspective, we’ve never …

Addressing AI risk is about more than compliance — enterprises need to build trust, promote fairness, and protect user privacy With the constantly changing Artificial Intelligence (AI) landscape, enterprises must be vigilant about the risks associated with AI technologies. Mitigating …

Private 5G is not just for automation or remote areas – it boosts reliability, security, and control, and offers strong and quick ROI. So don’t listen to all the naysayers, explains Boldyn Networks. There’s a common misconception that mobile private …

Rising fraud rates, encrypted traffic and infrastructure costs are compounding the pressure for telcos The telecom industry is being squeezed from all sides. Data traffic is exploding, fueled by 5G, streaming and IoT — pushing networks to their limits. At …
