Over the last few years, cloud-native has become a popular buzzword in the tech industry. There are cloud-native applications, cloud-native network functions, even cloud-native storage. But, like many buzzwords, the true meaning of cloud-native has itself become clouded by overuse.

One of the highlights of my summer is a trip I took to visit some of our rural customers as part of a larger customer appreciation tour other members of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and I embarked on. Independent service providers hold a unique place in the telecom ecosystem, often forming the backbone of their communities, and this was a wonderful way for us to connect on a personal level.

The “cloud native” conversation is transitioning from the enterprise data center into the telecommunications world, just in time for a new generation of 5G and AI/ML enabled telecom services. Couched in that conversation are some important nuances about what constitutes a truly cloud-native solution versus a cloud-capable solution.

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.

Not only are businesses losing millions of dollars to hackers running up toll-free charges and stealing telecom services, these same bad actors also harass employees with nuisance calls or phishing attempts. Worst of all, some are stealing your brand to make fraudulent calls to customers and are threatening your organization’s reputation.

Network operators need to make best use of their IP and Optical network resources. During this webinar we will explain how a new generation of high power coherent transceiver technologies is allowing us to assemble the traditional network building blocks in novel ways creating new architectures. Whatever the choice, the webinar shows how to construct a unified IP Optical network at the lowest TCO.

Automation is one of the main considerations when defining a cloud strategy. It is essential that enterprises implement automation within their cloud infrastructure so that they can not only enhance efficiency and generate opex savings, but also to scale operations and improve service delivery to their customers. Despite its importance, automation still has its challenges. Organizations must know how to automate tasks across often complex cloud architectures, in addition to meeting security expectations and navigating implementation costs.

Utilities today are focused on the 3-Ds, De-Carbonization and the transition to renewable energy, De-Centralization of energy resources and infrastructure, and Digitalization, with smart systems, grids, and substation modernization. In addition, the need to integrate the IT & OT networks puts the pressure on to increase efficiencies - but it also opens and enables a world of possibilities for the next-generation Utility, flexible to new Telco service offerings and revenue streams.

Being a voice service provider is challenging. Many regional and rural service providers are constrained by legacy TDM networks that are expensive to maintain, are well into their late lifecycles, are becoming a burden to administer and manage due to resource shortages and therefore pose risks to their business vitality. Continuing changes are experienced with vendors and products that seemingly constantly enter and exit the market. Ribbon offers a comprehensive transformation portfolio tailored to regional and rural providers.
