Enabling Connectivity with Express
Lanes for the World’s Data

By: Noah Drake

The next time you’re riding along a highway or traveling by train, take note of how similar the nation’s transportation infrastructure is to the foundation of a global telecommunications network.

Carrier OSS/BSS Upgrade: Dial “B” For Blockchain

By: April Taylor

Telecom carriers have operated with antiquated back-office systems for too long while struggling to automate cost reconciliation and financial assurance. The result is overlooked claims, time-intensive disputes, accrual mishaps, and revenue blockage.

By: Bernd Baier, Alexander Paulus

We often do not fully recognize how subtle changes can shift paradigms over a longer period of time.

Global supply chains have been on the top of consumers’ minds and, more so, a significant headache for producers, especially since the recent disruptions. Supply chain issues may not be temporary but rather systematic and more permanent than many anticipated…

Quite literally, our global temperature is rising…
