Telcos are set to spend billions on new cloud infrastructure

Almost half (46%) of telco network capacity will be entirely cloud-native in the next 3-5 years, hinting at huge investments to come, a new report has claimed.

To get to this stage, research from Capgemini has been suggested that telco companies are predicted to invest an average sum of $200 million each per year.

As if the incentives weren’t clear enough, Capgemini also reckons that early adopters will be able to make large proportions of their money back fairly quickly.

Telco cloud investments

Early adopters of cloud-based telco platforms are expected to make back as much as 47% of their investments within the 3-5 year period.

Part of this will come from the optimizations of the total cost of ownership for the networks, which is expected to get a 13% saving. Early-mover status is also attributable to the return on investment predictions. 

The cloud transformation is said to be an enabler of next-generation technologies, such as smart factory automation; private 5G networks at distribution centres, ports, oil fields, mines, chemical storage, and processing units; remote surgeries; AR/VR or Metaverse-enabled remote operations, monitoring, and training.

Finally, with our growing need for data storage and communications, combined with the increasing pressure for greener solutions, telco companies hope their cloud investments will enable them to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 5%.

According to Capgemini, many of our favorite Telco companies have already started their transitions. AT&T announced in 2021 that it would move its 5G mobile network to Azure, while O2 Telefonica said that it would be transitioning part of its 5G network in Germany to the cloud in partnership with Google Cloud and Ericsson.

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options. It appears Samsung has done its homework as the ViewFinity S9 addresses some of...
