Unlocking the future of telecom

In an era where technology is rapidly evolving, telecom companies are at the forefront of innovation. The latest thought leadership paper commissioned by STL Partners, “The Telecom Techco: The Role of Network Cloud, Automation, and AI,” explores how these cutting-edge technologies are transforming the telecom industry.

Why this report matters

According to the survey, 80% of telcos aim to transition into telecom techcos within the next three to five years. This shift is driven by the need to overcome stagnant revenues, improve efficiency, and regain relevance in capital markets. The report delves into the critical role of autonomous cloud network platforms, powered by cloud-native technologies, automation, and AI, in achieving this transformation.

Key insights

• Network modernization: Discover how telcos can link network modernization to their techco strategy to unlock new revenue streams and enhance agility.
• Automation and AI: Learn about high-impact, fast time-to-value use cases for automation and AI that can generate immediate financial benefits.
• Open-source adoption: Understand the importance of leveraging open-source technologies to accelerate the journey towards becoming a telecom techco.

Challenges and recommendations

Despite the potential, progress towards autonomous cloud network platforms is slow. The report identifies significant challenges, such as reliance on non-cloud-native architectures and limited vendor maturity. The report provides three key recommendations to help telcos overcome these barriers and achieve their techco ambitions.
