Many telecom providers have buckled to the consumer pressure for more data, faster speeds and greater global coverage and reliability; carving into their margins. However, in this detailed piece from Broadcom and Beecham Research; discover how edge AI can help improve operations, offer differentiation and monetise 5G. It’s the magic bullet for retaining both healthy market share and profits. Explore featurettes on:
- The current telco landscape - Worldwide data traffic is growing at a rate of 24% per year, leading to an expected consumption of 1.8 petabytes by 2026; and this is putting a tonne of strain on telecoms operators.
- The rise of AI - To manage the wealth of challenges now apparent in the telco landscape, companies are turning to AI for network optimisation, predictive maintenance, customer usage analysis, fault detection, CS automation, energy efficiency, security and more.
- Telco AI adoption at the edge - While data centres will not disappear and the cloud is here to stay; edge AI is gaining traction. It can help boost operational efficiency, provide unique customer experiences and enhance security and privacy.
- Why new workflows are needed – Cumbersome, bursty, data-heavy and variable; AI applications come with their own challenges, creating a demand for new network topology.
- The power of agentic AI networks - A connected network of LLMs and SLMs at the edge allows for immediate data analysis and decision-making. It’s the most efficient layout currently possible but it does come with its own challenges around prioritisation, cooperation, storage, workload distribution and data encoding.
With edge AI and 5G, new revenue opportunities are possible as they enable and empower each other. If you’re looking to explore these new technologies, the included case study and introduction to VeloRAIN from Broadcom are invaluable. Click the button below to access this report now.
