Telcos are taking a focused, low-risk approach to AI by prioritizing deployments in OSS/BSS and enhancing data correlation through generative models, while maintaining a clear line of sight on ROI. Hybrid AI architectures are emerging as the preferred model, blending large and small models across core and edge infrastructure to balance power and efficiency.
Both the cellular and satellite industries are racing to be first in a new market of converged 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) services. 2025 is seeing an increase in both NTN-equipped satellite launches and service launches.
The explosive demand for AI is reshaping the energy equation. As hyperscalers and enterprises deploy high-density compute infrastructure to train and run AI models, electricity consumption is surging. Utilities, regulators, and data center operators must now collaborate to expand grid capacity, accelerate clean energy adoption, and manage load demands—all while navigating public scrutiny and sustainability goals.
Telcos are turning to Wi-Fi 7 for its speed, reliability and low latency to power next-gen services. From enabling whole-home gigabit coverage to unlocking consumer and enterprise IoT potential and monetization strategies, Wi-Fi 7 is emerging as a foundational tool for operators to differentiate, partner and grow in competitive broadband markets.
