Hello, this week we’re cutting through the noise and focusing on what actually moves creators forward.

AI in telecom is just starting, but the industry is moving faster than most operators can keep up with. New deployments happen weekly across different regions. Vendors announce capabilities. Standards evolve.

Let’s dive in.

Fujitsu introduced an AI-powered application to enhance 5G networks by predicting traffic spikes and optimizing base station use, leading to improved user capacity and energy efficiency. The app detects early signs of increased traffic and can activate dormant base stations, cutting operational costs and power use. It’s set for commercial rollout next month.

Ericsson’s stock rose 7.6% after reporting third-quarter earnings that beat analyst expectations, driven by over 50% growth in North America. Despite a 4% decline in net sales, the company achieved adjusted earnings of 7.327 billion Swedish crowns, and its outlook suggests a recovery in 5G demand, particularly in the U.S.

Agentic AI represents a new wave of AI that operates independently, making it valuable in customer service and software development. Tools like GitHub Copilot are already in use, with 75% of organizations planning to adopt AI agents soon. This technology enhances efficiency and can reshape industries, but it raises ethical concerns about accountability and data security.

AI is being utilized in radio access networks to match resources with customer demand, optimizing energy use. Examples include Ericsson’s solutions leading to significant energy savings for operators like Umniah and Vodafone. By employing AI for real-time adjustments, CSPs can drive down costs and support Net Zero initiatives while maintaining service quality.
