Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are at a pivotal moment as rapid AI adoption on cloud infrastructure is driving major changes across the industries they serve. These technologies open exciting
new opportunities by simplifying complexities and unlocking the transformative power of AI. But, as the demand for AI-driven solutions grows, the challenge arises to integrate AI voice services
into diverse cloud infrastructures, legacy systems, UCaaS, CCaaS, and fixed wireless networks. This means confronting entrenched silos, legacy systems, regulatory obligations and a shifting
landscape of customer needs…

In today’s connected world, communication networks are no longer simple data pipes. They have become intelligent, programmable platforms that act as critical digital infrastructure. This
evolution is increasingly powered by AI, automation, and the deployment of 5G StandAlone (5G SA) networks. These technologies form the basis of something we like to call ‘differentiated
connectivity’. This model is designed to deliver reliable, tailored, and context-aware network performance. Service providers across the globe are now embracing this shift…

Across the mobile network landscape, the market forces of growing competition and shrinking revenue are squeezing mobile network operators (MNOs) in the middle. This situation is driving a
transformation in network architecture — chief among these changes is the slow but steady implementation of Open RAN technology. Despite some adoption delays, this move away from proprietary
infrastructure is showing promise, allowing MNOs the flexibility and agility to unlock greater performance, scalability, innovation, and cost efficiency…

Internet of Things (IoT) deployments often succeed or fail at the edge, where the realities of physics, packaging, and environmental noise determine whether a device connects, stays connected,
and delivers reliable data. Over the past decade, major investments in network infrastructure, semiconductors, and cloud platforms have accelerated IoT adoption. Yet, persistent challenges—such as
dead zones, intermittent telemetry, battery drain, and solutions that work in the lab but fail in the field—still plague the industry…

Pervasive mobile networks have become a central objective in modern telecommunications strategy, yet the term is often misunderstood. In practice, pervasive connectivity is not defined by the
size of a coverage footprint or the availability of a single access technology. It is defined by the ability to maintain usable, predictable connectivity as users, devices, and applications move
across environments, infrastructures, and operating conditions. As mobility becomes foundational to how organizations operate, the distinction between coverage and continuity has become
increasingly important…

Wireless technology evolves at the intersection of ambition and practicality. Each new generation promises transformational capabilities, but only succeeds when it becomes deployable, scalable,
and economically viable. As the industry moves from large-scale 5G deployment into 5G‑Advanced, we are reaching an inflection point that will define the foundations of 6G. The choices made now will
determine whether next‑generation wireless becomes merely more capable or fundamentally more valuable…

Ninety‑seven percent of UK premises now sit inside a 5G footprint. That headline from Ofcom’s Connected Nations report is impressive in its own right, but the real significance lies
beneath the surface. The UK has crossed a structural tipping point: mobile connectivity is now sufficiently deep, dense, and reliable that an IP connection can be assumed for almost every citizen,
most of the time, both indoors and out. That single shift fundamentally reshapes how voice and, more importantly, messaging will work for the rest of this decade…

What is the outlook for AI on mobile devices? Powerful LLMs (models) are getting very large. While progress has been made in running large models on Edge devices, there are serious limitations
facing large models on mobile devices. Technical progress has been made in moving the power of large models to mobile devices. The challenge that faces us is learning how to convert that power into
effective applications. A co-opetition process is the best way to quickly increase the capability to build effective mobile AI applications…

At 9:14 a.m. on a Monday, millions of people reached for their phones and realized something was wrong. Calls would not go through. Messages stalled. Data connections slowed to a crawl or
disappeared entirely. For some, it was a brief inconvenience. For others, it meant missed medical check-ins, stalled point-of-sale systems, delayed emergency updates, and the inability to reach
family members when it mattered most.The outage was eventually resolved. Most outages are. But the larger question remains: why are we still surprised when the network fails, when nearly everything
in our lives depends on it working? The uncomfortable truth is that while internet connectivity has become as essential as electricity, most people still rely on a single point of failure to
stay connected…

For decades, progress in the mobile industry was measured by coverage and capacity. The objective was clear: build, maintain, and monetize infrastructure that connected more people, in more
places, with better performance. That mission has largely been achieved. According to the 2025 GSMA State of Mobile Connectivity report, nearly 96 percent of the world’s population now lives within
coverage of a mobile broadband network. Connectivity is no longer a differentiator. It is an expectation.What has changed is the environment in which networks operate…

Pervasive mobile connectivity is no longer optional — it’s a requirement. In an increasingly digital, always-on world, near-instant access to information and services has become as essential as
electricity or running water. Connectivity isn’t just a convenience; it is mission-critical infrastructure underpinning how we navigate cities, connect with loved ones, work remotely, consume
entertainment, and access essential services 24/7. Its absence carries measurable human and economic consequences…

January 2026 didn’t feel like the start of a new year. It felt like the moment the entire industry work up and collectively decided the future was no longer optional. Nearly 80 major
news announcements landed in our inbox in just the first few weeks. The themes were unmistakable: networks becoming programmable platforms, Wi-Fi leaping toward 8, hollow-core fiber
ready for AI-scale distances, agentic AI shifting from pilot to production at enterprise scale, sovereign cloud and quantum infrastructure taking real steps, and the market still consolidating
aggressively…
