Another reason #euro2024 should be a fun watch – 5G will be involved! Broadcaster RTL Deutschland and Deutsche Telekom are working together to use 5G services via a private 5G network to deliver “data-intensive applications” with the network running in the 3.7GHz to 3.8GHz range and offering up to 100MHz of bandwidth to the broadcaster. Great to see innovation being driven by events in the market to actually test use cases and push barriers rather than there merely being a lot of talk about how great private networks could be. #connectivity #networks #privatenetworks #private5g #investment #innovation #mnos #Germany #2g #3g #4g #5g #business #enterprise #growth #mobile #mobilenetworks #telecoms #telecommunications #technology #stadiums #sport #football https://lnkd.in/e_QH3wPi

Listen to Ahmed Hafez, VP Technology Strategy with Deutsche Telekom before joining the expert panel to discuss "Enabling the Autonomous Network with AI". In this introductory interview at "DSP Leaders - World Forum" celebrated June 5th to 6th in Windsor, Ahmed is answering the questions posed by host Ray Le Maistre, Editorial Director with TelecomTV about what has changed since last year for telcos in regards to AI and what kind of pressure does the pace of development and the requirements of AI put on the telcos. Ahmed explains the main challenges focusing on the four layers: Data, Infrastructure, Models and Tools/Applications. Minutes: [07:50 to 13:00] Main pain points he highlights are: Data layer: Lack of well designed and adaptable data models. Despite many standards, still a siloed approach to data definition, data and file formats. This is not scalable and easily replicable. Infrastructure layer: Telco's reality today is still hybrid and not public cloud only. Co-existence and flexible integrations between OnPrem and public cloud are needed. The question then is where does the data live, how it is moved around and at what cost and speed? The need for a truly open and connected platform approach is palpable. Foundational AI models layer: You have the freedom of open source models on one side and then the power of the proprietary ones that are not portable on the other side. You can usually only use theses where they "live", on the public cloud and you can't use them OnPrem. This creates problems if you want to train such a model with confidential information. Tools/Application layer: Most suppliers come with full stack siloed approaches versus an open and integrated platform approach to enable vertical (Between the four layers) and horizontal (At each layer between suppliers e.g. multi cloud at the infrastructure layer) integration and interoperability. We at Teradata offer with Vantage such a hybrid, open, connected, scalable and high performance platform to enable an effective and efficient foundation to deploy an AI enabled autonomous network. 5 out of the 6 largest telcos globally trust in Teradata to manage their Enterprise Data Warehouses (EDWH) on premises, in the public cloud and in hybrid infrastructures.

Deutsche Telekom is making a strong push for 5G mmWave technology in the industrial sector. The telco has successfully trialled mmWave frequencies for industrial applications and are now actively targeting industrial customers. This is a strategic move for a few reasons: 🔘 Ultra-Fast Speeds & Low Latency: mmWave offers significantly higher speeds and lower latency compared to traditional mid-band 5G, crucial for real-time industrial applications like robotics and automation. 🔘 Enhanced Network Capacity: mmWave can handle a much larger number of devices and data streams, ideal for dense industrial environments with numerous connected machines and sensors. 🔘 Unlocking New Applications: The high bandwidth and low latency of mmWave can enable entirely new industrial applications that wouldn't be possible with traditional 5G. Deutsche Telekom's focus on mmWave for industry is a clear sign of the growing importance of this version of the 5G which has been widely adopted in the USA, Middle East and Asia but has not been adopted in Europe. What are your thoughts on the use of 5G mmWave in industrial settings?  Is this the future of industrial connectivity? #5GmmWave #IndustrialIoT #DeutscheTelekom #Telecoms #CCSI #TelecomsInsights

Excited to share insights from our recent #TeamTogetherTeamApart session, part of Deutsche Telekom LevelUp Leadership Program. After more than three decades with Deutsche Telekom, my success stories center on the transformative power of TEAMS. This session was another example of that power, learning from diverse, global perspectives. Last Thursday, I had the privilege of participating in a roundtable discussion in our Headquarters in Bonn alongside my dear colleague Martina Kandera and Philip Keil former LH Pilot and renowned keynote speaker. Their insights on error culture and decision-making, shared with over 400 remote participants, were invaluable. This experience reinforced the guiding principles of “see, say, solve” within a team setting and working with them. As leaders, it’s crucial to remain ahead in our thoughts, yet always aligned with our team’s dynamics and needs. From Martina and Philip I’ve learned that successful leadership is similar to piloting a flight; it requires foresight, teamwork, and proactive decision-making. From our discussion and my own experiences, here are key takeaways for new leaders in our program: 1. Building: Establish trust and a clear purpose. Trust is the cornerstone, allowing open communication and the expression of concerns without fear. A clear, shared purpose connects and motivates the team. 2. Working: Promote collaboration and ensure accountability. Leverage diverse strengths for better results and maintain clear responsibilities paired with constructive feedback. 3. Growing: Encourage continuous learning and adaptability. Invest in development and remain flexible to adapt to new challenges swiftly. 4. Winning: Align goals with the organization’s objectives and celebrate every success, enhancing team morale and unity. Special thanks to Duygu Barutcu for expert moderation and immense gratitude to Annette Schmall, Andrea Erdősi, Anne Stoltze and Livia Novakovic for their outstanding organisation and support behind the scenes. This engaging and seamless experience would not have been possible without their hard work. I’m grateful to everyone involved for another enriching discussion that continues to fuel my commitment to fostering effective and trustful teamwork across all levels of our organization. #Leadership #Teamwork #DeutscheTelekom #LevelUpLeadership #DigitalTomorrow #LoveMagenta #peoplemakeithappen #ilovemyjob #wewontstop
