During a recent webinar, Ribbon's Jonathan Homa, Senior Director, Solutions Marketing, and David Stokes, Head of IP Portfolio Marketing, discussed the pivotal role the middle mile network plays for Service Providers in taking advantage of the hugely increased access capacity recent investments in fiber and 5G offer. Service Providers require efficient, cost-effective solutions for this critical link in network connectivity.

I recently wrote about how AI can support unified communications in the enterprise, but its applications are much broader than that, and communications service providers also have the opportunity to benefit. In a recent Gartner survey, 95% of telecom CIOs said they plan to implement AI/ML technologies by 2026 and 79% said they plan to increase their AI/ML investments.

While last month’s Enterprise Connect 2024 (EC24) show seemed a bit light in terms of headline news, it did offer one high impact storyline around the integration of AI services with the PSTN. EC24 showcased the addition of AI services, including transcription and meeting minutes, to PSTN call using popular UC services (Teams, Zoom, Webex, Ring Central). While these have been in place for conference calls for almost a year, AI for one-to-one calls via the PSTN is new in 2024.

Automation uses software to control network resources dynamically with minimal human intervention. It can speed up services delivery and keep the network running at peak efficiency, boosting revenues and reducing costs. With this potential, one might think that automation of telecom networks would be widespread, but that is not the case. Automation in telecom lags compared to industries like transportation, shipping, and cloud computing services.

For the first time, the newest generation of high performance optical transceivers are available in a pluggable form factor. Using 5nm-140Gbaud technology, these transceivers deliver blazing fast 1.2T wavelengths for short haul, and 800G over large geographic regions. As pluggables, they are a huge leap over the previous generation of bulky, power-hungry modules that needed integration into line cards.

Moving to Teams Phone as your primary voice system can save money and provide a great user experience, or it can “crash and burn”. In a two-part workshop, I had the opportunity to explore insights to help migrate successfully to Teams Phone with Greg Zweig of Ribbon. (Ribbon was kind enough to sponsor both workshop sessions.) This article summarizes the information we covered in the workshop.

Hyperscalers are driving the shape of new metro optical networks – literally. AWS, Microsoft and Google have reshaped data center to data center connectivity over the years and now, as they populate their data centers with telecoms equipment, they are deploying it in higher density, with a better power utilization than telcos get. This is because they are not depth constrained so can go up to 600 millimeters deep unlike the standard telco 300mm hard limitation.

For many businesses, especially large enterprises, contact centers are a key contributor to revenue and customer satisfaction. While “omni-channel” (voice, chat, email, social) is how many if not most contact centers operate, calls are the still the most critical element of their communications.

Ribbon's Fixed Network Transformation solutions consolidate and modernize infrastructure, eliminating inefficiencies. Ribbon provides solutions to transform both the core IP and optical networks and the IP-based communications services that run on top of that network, helping service providers expand and improve business services as well as enter new markets like unified 5G xhaul and broadband backhaul. At the same time, these transformations reduce the cost and complexity of delivering traditional residential communications services by dramatically reducing recurring power, HVAC, space, and staffing costs.
