Ericsson forecasts that global mobile data traffic will continue to grow, exceeding the 22% increase seen between Q1 2025 and Q1 2026. This prediction increases pressure on networks to scale capacity, maintain consistent service quality, keep outages to a minimum, and restore service faster.
Telecommunications networks have grown too complex for traditional perimeter-based security to protect. As telecom operators and Internet Service Providers expand into 5G access, fiber backbones, carrier-grade data centers, and edge nodes, the attack surface grows with them. Millions of human and
Key takeaways from IDC's Telco Forum 2026 in Barcelona point to an industry moving from pilots and promises to structural change. The transformation reaches into capital allocation, operating models, data architecture, and the definition of what a network is. The headline is blunt: training
The telecommunications sector is currently navigating a more complex, digitally driven environment where the high-velocity expansion of fiber optics meets tightening energy availability. Telecom operators are increasingly impacted, as securing stable power for massive data centers is just as
Real-time intelligent connectivity is now a baseline expectation across markets, yet most telecom networks were designed for a different era. This creates an operating gap: applications demand prediction, intent, and automation, while networks still reflect hardware-centric constraints. Cloud and
Outages are not just technical failures; they are operational debt with a compound interest rate. As 5G, fiber, and edge expand, the old maintenance playbooks of waiting for alarms or rotating trucks on fixed schedules waste capital and goodwill. The viable alternative is predictive maintenance:
