Webinar Highlights

The Impact of GenAI on Telco

Michael: “Generative AI is very good at extracting information out of data. And telcos have huge data lakes of network performance, customer performance, customer preferences, customer usage, and all of that data can be used to improve the customer experience and also to come up with different marketing packages or products”

Trends we can expect to see at MWC

Michael: “Many other telcos are looking to really move from being a technology provider to being more of an applications provider. And AI as a service or GPU as a service opens the opportunity for them to do that.”

AI Use Cases in Telecom

Yaming: “So the telco carriers naturally can be a CSP for their own country and the region to offer AI as a service there. So they're planning to build already--in the process of it, some of our customers, AI factories.”

Conclusion

The impact of AI is far-reaching. With Telco rapidly evolving, you’ll need solutions that can adapt at scale. Register today and view the webinar on-demand to learn more about latest trends for this year and get a preview of MWC 2025.
