Just a decade ago, AI was virtually unknown in the telecom industry. Few could have imagined its impact on multiple domains such as network configuration, power management, optimization, and customer engagement. The Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) predicts that AI will become a standard part of operational procedures within the next six to ten years. This article explores key areas where AI is transforming telecom networks.

Since the first optical submarine cable in 1988, copper has been the default conductor material due to its low resistance and reliability. However, aluminum is emerging as a lighter, more cost-effective alternative. Analysis shows that an aluminum conductor with equivalent resistance weighs ~50% less and costs ~87% less than copper, while delivering comparable performance. This significant reduction in cost and weight simplifies cable installation and fault recovery, making aluminum a compelling choice for future large-scale subsea deployments.

Satellites have become an integral part of our modern world, facilitating communication, navigation, weather forecasting, and much more. Behind their capabilities in enabling global connectivity and unrivaled insights into the mysteries of space lie remarkable facts that will leave you amazed.

While 5G offers extremely fast download speeds, most users will be receiving only a fraction of this speed, as the speed drops rapidly with increasing distance from the tower.

Artificial Intelligence coupled with Big Data is planned to play a major role in 5G Networks. A 5-step Network Automation Model has been proposed that will transform traditional networks into automated workflows, leading to network reliability and business agility.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an architecture that improves network control for businesses and service providers by being directly programmable, agile, centrally managed, programmatically configured and open standards-based and vendor-neutral.
