How can telcos get more value out of current 5G networks before we transition to 6G? Good question! Some argue that now we understand 5G’s capabilities, telcos can focus on how to deliver 5G-enabled new services for enterprise customers. On the other hand, others, like KPMG’s Ian West, suggest 5G hasn’t lived up to the hype and technological advancements are necessary for it to meet expectations. It’s worth remembering that 5G isn’t universally available yet; for example, the UK has only around 10% coverage. So there’s still considerable work to be done on the infrastructure front. With 6G expected by 2030, the question is: Will 5G live up to expectations by then? Have a read and let me know your thoughts: https://ow.ly/6yQA50QxYxA #5G #6G #Networks #Innovation #Telco

The future of telecom is here, and it's data-hungry. But is the industry ready to capitalize? According to the report by PwC, data consumption is skyrocketing, yet revenue growth remains slow due to pricing constraints. This presents a crucial challenge for telcos - how to fund the extensive infrastructure investments for 5G and beyond amidst stagnant revenues. The answer likely lies in exploring new avenues beyond traditional connectivity services. What do you think about the future of the telecom industry?

Attention Telecom Operators: 5G will unleash new sources of revenue for telecommunications operators. Monetizing 5G through well-defined use cases is an open topic that many telecommunications operators are still exploring. Here's a 2-minute read for more context. #telco #msp #5g #telecoms #csp #monetize5g

We often talk about the power of 5G and its revolutionary impact on various sectors but how often do we take our expertise to where it's truly needed? This recent article highlights the importance of meeting industries in their space, embracing initiatives like #IndoorWireless, and truly understanding the challenges and opportunities within sectors such as manufacturing and construction. This isn’t just about tech integration; it’s about fostering meaningful collaboration between telecom leaders and industry-specific needs. Dive into the discussion on why telecom needs to step into different industries and not expect them to conform to our standard approaches: https://buff.ly/3WfTZmE #5G #6G #Telecommunications #IndustryCollaboration

How will the future of 6G shape the telecommunications industry? 6G’s greatest advantage is that it has the potential to attract sufficient cross-sector investment, drive innovation, and grow adoption. But what’s most exciting is that 6G is capable of expanding the capabilities of mobile networks beyond just connectivity and improve capital expenditure. #6Gnetwork #6G #telecommunications

6G has the potential to revolutionise the mobile industry. However, new technology doesn’t always mean better value for telecommunications companies. To realise the full economic potential of 6G, players in the telecommunications industry could consider a set of actions, including expanding the roster of network investors and making smart investments in digital infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/edzTPRTy #6G #telecommunications #tech

Good article (try to download the 20 page PDF). My 2 cents: Wireless service providers need to reflect upon the ongoing Human & Capital Investment required + Fast Investment Monetization that is an absolute; OR/AND consider Changing Shareholder Expectation(profile) re: dividends and/or share buybacks ..... "The telecommunications industry’s investments in disruptive wireless technologies over the past few decades have radically reshaped people’s daily lives, enabled the creation of massive new businesses, and transformed entire industries. Yet even as each new wireless generation has introduced new services, lowered costs, and improved performance, telcos have increasingly struggled to benefit from the unprecedented value creation. The next-generation mobile standard, 6G, offers telcos the opportunity to change the status quo and revitalize the industry. If developed thoughtfully, 6G has the potential to attract sufficient cross-sector investment, drive innovation, grow adoption, and spark future waves of disruptive technologies. Most crucially, it could drive new value on top of the connectivity layer—value that telcos can finally enjoy. To reap these potential rewards from 6G, the telecom industry needs to overcome the headwinds created by previous generations of wireless telecommunications standards, especially those resulting from 5G. Expectations for 6G vary widely, with lingering skepticism regarding the challenges and costs of the 5G rollout weighing on its prospects. These attitudes raise the possibility that 6G could become an afterthought rather than the next great technology driver of innovation. This report examines how that fate can best be avoided and raises the question of what 6G should look like to create the necessary momentum in the development and standard-setting phase. In particular, to lay a foundation for future 6G success, operators can take action today in five key areas:  1. Shift focus to customer (and telco) value creation 2. Work toward multicapability platforms 3. Expand the roster of network investors 4. Make smart investments in digital infrastructure 5. Get the right talent mix "

🚀 The advent of 6G technology promises a paradigm shift, revitalizing the sector with unprecedented opportunities for innovation and growth. However, to fully harness its potential, the industry must confront legacy challenges head-on. The key lies in embracing a collaborative approach to innovation and investment. Telcos must broaden their horizons, reaching beyond traditional boundaries to partner with companies outside the telecom sphere. By fostering cross-sector collaboration, we can fuel the development of 6G and unlock new realms of possibility. Our focus should not solely be on speed and connectivity but on value creation for both customers and telcos. We need to address operational challenges faced by mobile network operators and facilitate the scaling of advanced connectivity for enterprises. Moreover, the expansion of mobile networks into multicapability platforms opens doors to diverse revenue streams, enhancing the economics of 6G investments. This evolution will require smart investments in digital infrastructure, including xRAN rollout, fiber upgrades, and sustainable energy initiatives. 📱As we march towards the era of 6G, investing in the skills and competencies needed for its implementation will be pivotal for success.🌐 👉 Find out more http://ms.spr.ly/6043cVoW7 #HenkelDataCom #HenkelTeleCom #6G #Innovation #Telecommunications #innovation

Telcos are shouldering the task of providing connectivity to end customers, but more than half of internet traffic is created by the Big Technology giants.   The costs of building and running telecommunication networks as well as new technology rollouts are increasing. Simultaneously, end user prices have been pushed down while data consumption has increased.   So, what can European telecoms do to change this dynamic? 📡   Discover the answers in our latest BearingPoint of View > https://lnkd.in/d9RbWsst #Telcos #Connectivity #Telecommunication

The telecommunications industry provides vital services on which billions of consumers and virtually all businesses rely but it faces a fundamental strategic challenge. Aside from having little control over the pricing of increasingly commoditized connectivity and data services, telecommunications companies (telcos) must invest heavily in the infrastructure that enables them to serve customers. Our inaugural Global Telecom Outlook, provides vital data and thinking to illuminate the strategic paths companies should consider taking in order to sustain outcomes and growth in an increasingly complex and competitive environment: https://lnkd.in/eWWcUTf3 #telecom #technology #transformation
