Panel Discussion
AI adoption is accelerating across industries, with the generative AI market projected to reach $467bn by 2030. This creates a significant opportunity for service providers to move beyond basic connectivity and monetise their value as strategic AI enablers for business and residential customers.
In this webinar, Steve Daigle, global head of telco systems engineers at HPE, Adaora Okeleke, principal analyst at Analysys Mason and Francis Haysom, principal analyst at Appledore Research, joined TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels to explore how AI strategies are enabling network service providers to:
- Simplify operations and enhance service delivery with AI-native automation that reduces costs while improving customer experiences.
- Build AI-ready infrastructure to support edge inference services, ultra-high performance datacentre interconnects and distributed AI workloads.
- Launch new revenue streams through sovereign AI clouds and AI-as-a-service offerings that differentiate beyond commodity connectivity.
Watch to discover how embracing AI-native strategies can accelerate your network transformation, unlock high-margin revenue opportunities and position your organisation as an AI-native telco in the rapidly evolving digital economy.
