automation of lifecycle management, providing insights across every segment of technology,
every device and service. AI is poised to accelerate the offering of innovative new experiences,

while improving business and resource efficiency. While some companies may achieve
substantial annual gains enabled by AI, leaders should identify a realistic goal for increasing

productivity and operational efficiency through AI and implement it across their business
accordingly.

Service providers have the opportunity to control their destiny. If they are truly willing to

disrupt themselves, break away in their market, and embrace AI, they will survive this
transition. Now is the time to focus on disruption and speed.

Harnessing observability to enable autonomous infrastructure:

Observability enables a data-driven approach to automating the infrastructure across
hardware, software, and cloud deployments. Data is the new differentiator to the value of

service provider futures. Combining predictive analytics, generative AI (gen AI), and open APIs
enables service providers to talk to their data to provide insights and operational

recommendations with closed-loop automation.

Over the past years, service providers have been applying AI to their core mobile and wireline

networks, and will look at ways to deploy AI in RAN to dynamically manage frequencies,
sectors and base stations, improving efficiency, power consumption, and performance metrics.

Similarly, gen AI and AIOps are enabling predictive maintenance, root-cause analysis and
smarter decision-making with guardrails for privacy and compliance.

Laying the foundations for 6G:

Service providers are taking a more pragmatic approach to the next generation of mobile
architecture (6G) with a focus on improving business outcomes. Defining 6G involves more

than just infrastructure — it requires the participation of a broader ecosystem of industry
players, demanding structural and cultural shifts across the value chain. This collaborative

approach will be key to driving innovation and ensuring the technology meets the demands of
the future.

The growing telco industry ecosystem will focus over the next year on the following:

What key aspects of 6G differentiate from 5G’s capabilities
