The future of telecommunications in an era of rapid technological advancement and shifting geopolitical landscapes calls for robust strategies and a vision for connectivity in the coming years. In this #MWC24MP session, leading figures Adina Valean, Ulrik Vestergaard Knudsen, Guangzhe Chen, Frehiwot Tamru and John Giusti will explore a multi-dimensional perspective on the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead as governments and industry accelerate the change together.

We are able to correlate network reliability and experience to ports in and out of networks (I.e. churn) - for example - a recent network outage by Three UK resulted in an uptick in churn - with subscribers preferring some MNOs and MVNOs over others. This is huge progress in linking network investment to commercial performance and ROI.

Warm-up session for #MWC24 - I hope you can make it

This is a BIG deal! Why? Because our research shows that reliability is second only to cost as a factor when customers are making decisions about their mobile service provider and at the end of the day, its those customer decisions that matter most to operators.

Which technology will win - WiFi or 5G? We have been hearing this question a lot these days and quite frankly, this is the wrong question to ask. We will require both WiFi and 5G to deliver on the promise of Infinite connectivity between people, applications and devices. Which also happens to be a foundational pillar of an #InfiniteEnterprise (Listen here: https://lnkd.in/dbwyDRec for more on that; also read this: https://lnkd.in/d57Fm75j) So what questions should we be asking instead? Join me at #MWC2024 for an in-depth exploration of the future of WiFi and 5G. Excited to discuss the evolving synergy between cost-effective, ubiquitous WiFi and the deterministic yet evolving 5G technology. Let's construct a world founded on "AND" rather than "instead". #WirelessTechnology #WiFiVs5G #Enterprise5G #WiFi7 #FutureTech

 If reliability is crucial for customers, it should be a top priority for Operators. Consistent network performance ensures that users can rely on their mobile services. Know more about #reliability in Opensignal latest report. #mobileexperience

As we start day 3 at Mobile World Congress, the echo chamber of self-congratulation is louder than ever. But as an experienced partner in the telco consulting space, I can't help but feel that MWC24, while dazzling, skirted around the industry's most pressing issues. Yes, we saw an impressive array of technological advancements and prototypes poised to redefine our digital future. Yet, the question remains: Are we focusing on the innovations that truly matter, or are we caught in a cycle of incremental updates masquerading as breakthroughs? The emphasis on 5G, AI, and IoT is commendable, but it overshadows critical conversations about digital divide, data privacy, and sustainable innovation. The tech industry's relentless pursuit of the 'next big thing' seems to bypass the fundamental need for accessible, equitable technology solutions. Moreover, the fanfare around new gadgets and gizmos often ignores the elephant in the room: environmental impact. The cycle of producing and discarding tech products exacerbates our planet's plight, yet sustainable practices and recycling initiatives were notably absent from the main stage. Let's also talk about the buzzword-heavy presentations that promise revolutionary changes. While they inspire, they also often lack substantive follow-through on scalability, practical implementation, and addressing real-world challenges. Innovation should not just be about the fastest, the latest, or the most connected. It should be about meaningful, responsible advancements that address the pressing needs of society, the environment, and the underprivileged. I challenge the industry leaders, innovators, and thinkers: Let's redirect our focus towards creating a more inclusive, sustainable, and genuinely innovative future. The potential for technology to enact positive change is immense, but only if we dare to look beyond the gloss and glamour of the show floor.

With #MWC24 kicking off next week in Barcelona, our industry's biggest players are ready to unveil the future they've been working on. Based on what I've seen in early announcements, MWC is poised to address some of the key concerns that resonate strongly with telco businesses: ▪ Monetizing #5G gold 💰: Beyond hype, how can operators unlock real revenue streams? ▪ Openness revolution 🔓: Is open and interoperable infrastructure the key to unleashing 5G's full potential? ▪ #AI superpowers networks 🧠: Can AI/ML really optimize, automate, and help further secure our networks? ▪ Sustainability in the spotlight ♻: Can we have both connectivity and a green future? ️ ▪ #6G glimpses 🔜: So, what's next? Our industry leaders are already exploring visions and timelines. As we enter the second half of the 5G era and witness the challenges our industry faces, this is a crucial opportunity for those shaping the technology to answer these questions and show just how cool and powerful 5G can be. What are YOU most excited about at MWC? Share your thoughts :)

Navigating the journey to 5G-Advanced and the quest for monetization. As highlighted by Gulraiz Khalid in Teletimes, a focal point at this year's MWC in Barcelona was the rapid advancement of the 5G industry, with an expected leap in connections to 10 billion by 2025. Spotlighting 5G-Advanced (5G-A or 5.5G), set to revolutionize digital economies once the 3GPP Release 18 standard is established in March 2024. The march towards 5G-Advanced aims to elevate capabilities, unlock new business opportunities, and spearhead the development of a superior, efficient, and eco-friendly 5G-Advanced network ecosystem. However, a critical conversation that accompanied this discussion at MWC, and one that will undeniably shape the trajectory of this progress, revolves around the monetization of 5G. As the industry gears up for these technological leaps, the question of how to effectively monetize 5G remains paramount. Balancing the technical advancements with viable monetization strategies is crucial for sustaining the momentum and ensuring that the transition to 5G-Advanced translates into tangible economic benefits for the industry and its consumers alike. #5GAdvanced #DigitalEconomy #MWC2024 #TelecomInnovation #MonetizationStrategies #FutureFirst #MobileTechTrends Link: https://lnkd.in/dxAcSW5A
