Introduction: Enterprises today confront a significant challenge: the proliferation of disparate data sources and siloed data across hybrid cloud environments. Extracting meaningful insights using generative AI tools has become increasingly arduous because data proliferates across heterogeneous distributed systems and formats. Customers have asked for programmable and secure connectivity to enable generative AI applications in the […]

Note from the Authors: At Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2025, the GSMA hosted a generative AI summit featuring industry leaders across the globe including McKinsey, NVIDIA, and others. In our jointly-hosted fireside chat, we had the chance to talk about a unique symbiosis of telecom and Cloud that we coined Networks for AI, AI for […]

Introduction At MWC 2025, AWS announced the preview of a new AWS Outposts racks offering for high-throughput, network-intensive workloads. We are pleased to announce that this offering is now generally available as part of the second-generation Outposts racks launch. With this launch, Outposts empowers communication service providers (CSPs) to accelerate modernization of their on-premises telecom […]

Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications are evolving into distributed inference pipelines, where models run across multiple tiers, from device edge to AWS, to optimize latency, bandwidth, and privacy. Instead of sending all raw data to AWS, collaborative AI inference can occur at the device, far edge, near edge (often a 5G Multi-access Edge Computing site […]

The telecommunications (telco) industry stands at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) transformation, with communication service providers (CSPs) actively seeking innovative solutions to enhance customer experience, optimize networks, and drive operational efficiency. Today, we’re excited to announce the Telco AI Fellowship: a first-of-a-kind collaboration between AWS and NVIDIA designed to accelerate AI adoption across the […]

Introduction Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS®) is a critical technology standard in modern cable broadband networks, enabling cable operators to deliver high-speed internet, voice, and IP video services over existing hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) infrastructure. Published by CableLabs, DOCSIS technology supports hundreds of millions of residential and enterprise broadband customers globally. DOCSIS networks also […]

Legacy mainframe systems remain the backbone of many telecommunications (telco) operators, despite rapid technological evolution. These systems, combining proprietary and vendor-developed applications, remain critical for handling bulk data processing and large-scale transactions. These systems typically handle critical Business Support Systems (BSS) and Operational Support Systems (OSS) workloads, such as the highly transactional processes of rating, […]

How do enterprises efficiently manage networking across hundreds of cloud accounts while maintaining security, reducing costs, and minimizing operational overhead? As organizations such as Swisscom adopt Amazon Web Services (AWS), they face the complex challenge of implementing scalable, automated networking solutions that break away from traditional high-touch, manual approaches. When Swisscom, Switzerland’s leading telecom provider, […]

DISH Technologies, commonly known as DISH Tech, is a leading provider of satellite television and broadband services and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EchoStar. Since its founding in 1980, DISH has continually innovated in the delivery of digital entertainment and information services. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, DISH offers a wide range of services, including satellite TV, […]

Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is an architecture that enables cloud computing capabilities and services at the edge of a mobile network. By running application workloads closer to mobile customers, network latency is reduced to tens of milliseconds and application response time is improved. As one example of MEC, private MEC brings AWS compute and storage […]
