Explore how automation, AI and Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) empower organizations to enhance agility, reliability, and security. Learn how AI-driven observability improves network operations and edge decision-making accelerates service deployments from months to minutes. Explore the benefits of NaaS and discover strategies for integration automation, AI, and cloud to enhance your network’s agility.

Technological innovations in power and energy storage solutions allow operators to improve resilience in networks ranging from RAN to edge data centers, FTTx to Small Cells. Panelists will address questions such as: How do different network topologies cope with a fallible power grid? What solution best fits each application? How do we handle remote sites in distributed networks? How can we meet sustainability challenges and more?

While there’s significant "buzz" about AI/ML solving all network evolution woes, few people understand how AI works, and what questions to ask when presented with a problem that a vendor says can be "easily" solved with AI. This session will help leaders and decision-makers clarify terminology, determine AI/ML strengths and weaknesses and gain key insights to separate AI’s promises from its real potential. 

Gen AI adoption is expected to grow from 19% to 48% within two years. CSPs are projected to increase their Gen AI spending by 6X within two years. Attend this session to learn how Gen AI can be used for network monitoring, network operation management, predictive maintenance, cybersecurity, and fraud mitigation.

The adoption of AI is on the rise, with AI in telecommunications expected to grow at a CAGR of 28.2% from 2023 to 2030. Whether you're deploying new fiber networks or maintaining existing ones, AI and automation are becoming essential tools in breaking down data silos, integrating third-party data, keeping as-builts updated, and expediting field data capture. You will learn about integrating diverse information streams into a comprehensive and reliable dataset; migrating data between systems without compromising integrity or security and using AI to enhance data capture and reduce manual workload.
