As MWC Barcelona 2026 approaches, VIAVI and NVIDIA are deepening our collaboration with work centering on the AI-native Radio Access Network (RAN) and autonomous networks. At the show, VIAVI will present a series of joint demonstrations, built on NVIDIA AI-RAN platforms, that highlight our shared vision of how advanced simulation, accelerated computing and AI can […]
2025 was a watershed year for the next generation of connectivity. With the ITU finalizing IMT-2030 requirements and 3GPP officially launching Release 20 Study Items, 6G’s definition is slowly crystallizing. The ecosystem is evolving from research to early prototypes. During the year ahead, we can particularly expect the focus to shift to the AI-Native Network […]
Test and measurement for critical infrastructure is entering a new phase. In 2026, changes that have been emerging in the background are very much set to shift to become front of mind. These changes relate to security, AI, photonics, and sensing. While all could be said to be related but evolving independently, they are now […]
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Breaking Barriers for Agentic Networks Hackathon in partnership with Telecom Infra Project brought together 377 participants across 68 projects to explore the role of agentic AI in solving challenges and capturing new opportunities in the telecom industry. 45 in-person teams attended the hackathon at Dogpatch Labs in Dublin, Ireland, while others […]
Modeling telecom networks digitally in advance to building them out brings several advantages. Notably, it becomes possible to assess performance, study problems and evaluate potential solutions for the network before a single cable is connected or a single mast is built. This means more reliable networks that can be created more quickly, scale faster and […]
For decades, mobile network operators have been constrained by a tightly integrated vendor ecosystem, with limited choice, flexibility, and innovation. Open RAN (Radio Access Network) is fundamentally reshaping this paradigm. By decoupling hardware and software and promoting open interfaces, Open RAN empowers operators with greater control, agility, and the ability to foster a more competitive […]

As digital technologies advance and consumer demands shift, the global telecommunications industry is rapidly undergoing a transformation. Faster networks and lower latencies are required to support emerging technologies such as IoT networks/systems, AI and cloud computing. As such, telcos are evolving to resemble technology companies, with a focus that extends beyond what a traditional telco […]
To recognize 100 years since the development of quantum mechanics, the United Nations has proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. While quantum computing creates enormous economic and scientific opportunities, it also poses serious cybersecurity risks such as rendering current encryption tools obsolete. Experts estimate that there is a more than 50% […]
