Emerging Trends in Telecommunication:
Shaping The Future
Transformation seems to be the order of the day in the telecommunications space driven by technology advancements, change in customer behavior as well as the growing desire to meet the need for digital services. The significant increase in demand for the industry especially brings out other emerging trends/customers that are targeting this industry in order to create, increase connectivity and improve customer satisfaction.
One of the most important developments of this period is the spread of 5G. It is expected to deliver better all-round performance, lower latency and connect more devices. Once 5G is introduced, a number of applications will develop such as IoT, smart cities and so on.
Edge computing is another trend which moves the computing resources closer to the source of data and thereby improves time delay while enabling large volumes of analytics in real time. It has valuable application in smart houses, factory systems and self-driven vehicles on rooftops.
However, there is the growth of cloud based services, network function virtualization and software-defined networking in telecommunications. These technologies improve flexibility, reduce cost and improve scalability which enables telecom operators to innovate and adapt to the changing market conditions.
