Scalable from 1MW edge deployments to over 100MW hyperscale facilities, it incorporates multi-medium architectures like CritiCool-X chillers and LiquidRack immersion systems, positioning itself amid projections of a $15 billion North American market by 2030 driven by AI's energy demands.

Marvell Technology reported significant adoption of its PCIe Gen5 and CXL 2.0 retimers by leading AI and data center providers, ensuring signal integrity, high-speed data transfer, and reduced latency in server environments. Marvell is also accelerating its Active Electrical Cable (AEC) ecosystem through strategic initiatives focused on hyperscaler adoption, fostering innovation in comprehensive data infrastructure solutions.

Qualcomm fast-tracked its data center expansion by completing the acquisition of Alphawave Semi a quarter ahead of schedule, gaining key assets for enhanced connectivity and processing. Meanwhile, ING's adoption of VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 modernizes its private cloud, enabling global workload mobility, regulatory compliance, and improved digital services across regions.

Autonomous Networks and 5G Deployments

Network autonomy is reaching new heights, promising self-optimizing systems that reduce operational complexity and costs. Nokia is leading with its collaboration with du on the first 5G Advanced autonomous network slicing solution, powered by MantaRay, AirScale, and AutoPilot technologies to deliver intent-based premium services with guaranteed SLAs for gaming, XR, AI, and enterprise apps. Nokia also deployed MantaRay SON across NTT DOCOMO's multi-vendor LTE/5G RAN in Japan's inaugural such integration, automating toward Level 4 autonomy; upgraded RailTel's DWDM and metro optical networks in India for resilient high-speed connectivity; and revealed research surveying 2,000 decision-makers, uncovering substantial investments needed to meet the AI supercycle's demands on telecom and data center infrastructure.

Ericsson is advancing monetization through its minority stake in LotusFlare and blueprints for network API exposure, leveraging DNO Cloud and Vonage for 5G/AI capabilities. Ericsson signed a five-year Master Frame Agreement with stc Group to boost Saudi Arabia's digital infrastructure; activated 4.5 GHz Massive MIMO AIR 3255 radios in DOCOMO's network for enhanced capacity and beamforming; and partnered with Vodafone and Spirent on an automated platform for rapid multi-vendor 5G core software integration across Europe.

New 5G technologies are tackling in-building connectivity challenges in high-capacity venues like stadiums and airports. Rogers Communications expanded 5G to 34 more eastern Ontario communities via the $300-million EORN Cell Gap Project, bridging rural gaps, and enhanced its Xfinity platform with Amazon Luna cloud gaming for seamless TV-based access to titles like Hogwarts Legacy. Verizon partnered with Array Digital Infrastructure to leverage national towers for 5G enhancements. Intracom Telecom and GeoLinks demonstrated 1.6 Gbps aggregate throughput at 5 miles in LMDS spectrum during WISPAPALOOZA 2025, confirming fixed wireless readiness for fiber-like services. The Wireless Broadband Alliance's trials showed up to 70% latency reductions using standardized Wi-Fi QoS, benefiting video conferencing, gaming, and streaming.

Security and Risk Mitigation

With threats amplifying alongside AI adoption, security remains a critical pillar. Juniper Research projects digital goods fraud costing eCommerce merchants $27 billion globally by 2030—a 162% rise from 2025—driven by synthetic identities, promo-abuse, and AI tools, necessitating real-time AI prevention and behavioral biometrics. Dell’Oro Group forecasts the network security market surpassing $26 billion in 2025, fueled by cloud-delivered solutions like SSE and WAF amid a shift to zero-trust and application modernization.

VIAVI and QNu Labs are developing quantum-safe technologies, including test cases, badging, and reference architectures for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum key distribution (QKD) to resilient critical infrastructure. Kaspersky's report warns of ongoing APTs, DDoS attacks, and supply-chain vulnerabilities pressuring telecom operators in 2026, exacerbated by AI automation, post-quantum shifts, and satellite integration.
