5G delivers increased mobility, performance and security – so why aren’t telcos doing more to capitalise on these capabilities in the private sector? We break down the essentials of private 5G, and how telcos can seize the initiative.

We’re soon entering the “fast fashion era of SaaS,” according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Could this overrun the market with poor-quality slopware, and is so-called “vibe coding” to blame?

Perhaps it’s time to see AI for what it really is: not magic, but normal technology. Can we find this middle ground, or is the bubble about to dramatically pop?

In 1995, two futurologists made a series of projections for the state of telecoms in the 2020s. We revisit their forecasts in 2025 to see how well – or not – their predictions held up.

Headless BSS allows telcos to retain their existing customer-facing platforms, while modernising and integrating back-end functions, giving operators the flexibility to choose only the components they need, and benefitting from streamlined, pre-integrated deployment.
