For me, AI is A Strategic Co-Pilot It is the ultimate force multiplier in strategic telecom project delivery. It’s far more than a tool. My usage proves its value in two areas: Efficiency: Instantly translating complex data requirements into precise solutions (like Excel formulas) or quickly finding niche technical features (like Teams translation). Clarity: Refining professional documentation and communication—from PDU claims to executive pitches—allowing my 23 years of experience to speak with absolute clarity. AI handles the heavy lifting of synthesis, enabling me to dedicate my time to critical fibre design and leadership challenges. Essential for modern productivity. #AI #ProjectManagement #Telecom #Productivity #Innovation Nayana Kadiyala Dr. Vijay Varadi PhD Vamseedhar Thanikonda Colonel Razzaque Adil Parveen Sharma

Are you a few steps ahead or a few steps behind in AI usage? Regardless of your position, the future we anticipate is on the brink of transformation. To reach the first 1 million users, it took: - The internet: ~2-4 years - Facebook: 10 months - Snapchat: 9 months - Instagram: 2.5 months - AI: just 5 days We need to transition from being mere task doers to becoming architects of our work. AI is not solely about speed or efficiency; adopting an architect mindset allows you to: - Sharpen your communication skills - Enhance your critical thinking - Move past the fear of AI taking over your job and instead learn to control the outcomes you desire with AI - Complement your limitations with a second brain (Are you creative enough?) The only challenge we face is time. By the time we fully grasp AI, it will have evolved with enhancements that offer capabilities far beyond what we initially trained ourselves to utilize. #Start #now, #Start #daily

This spectrum auction marks an important milestone for Pakistan’s digital future. I would like to appreciate the Government of Pakistan, the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication, and the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority for successfully concluding this process. A stable and transparent policy environment gives the telecom sector the confidence to continue investing in the country’s digital growth. For our customers, this spectrum will translate into stronger coverage, improved quality of service, and greater network capacity particularly in underserved and rural areas. 4G will continue to remain the backbone of Pakistan’s digital inclusion, bringing millions more people online. At the same time, 5G will be introduced thoughtfully, aligned with real customer demand, device ecosystem readiness, and meaningful use cases. At Jazz, we believe technology should empower people to unlock their full potential. That belief is captured in our philosophy - Jazz Meri Superpower - the idea that connectivity can amplify what Pakistanis are capable of achieving. As networks evolve and 5G capabilities emerge, we look forward to enabling millions more people to learn, create, and participate more fully in the digital economy.

Is the network truly open for innovation? The answer is a strong YES, thanks to developers. In this new era of Programmable Connectivity, the power of the network is moving directly into the hands of those who can imagine what comes next. Shkumbin Hamiti, Head of Nokia’s Network Monetization Platform Business Unit, explains how the Network as Code concept is shifting from vision to reality. He shares insights from our recent hackathon with Telstra, where more than 200 developers rapidly unlocked network value by using APIs and created solutions for real-world problems, such as phone number recycling at scale. "APIs unlock the network's value for the people who can imagine what's next." – Shkumbin Hamiti Read his full blog to explore the winning use cases and see how we are building the future of connectivity together! #5G #ProgrammableNetworks #NetworkAsCode #Developers #API

How do you know if a video is fake or not? At Nokia, our world-leading video research team is working to address this challenge head-on. The Versatile Supplemental Enhancement Information (VSEI) standard, now in version 4, is a critical step towards building trust in AI video. It introduces features like digital signing and AI markings, which are essential for verifying content, while advanced post-processing options help protect creative intent, ensuring creators maintain control over their work.

🪢Complexity and high segmentation of existing telco networks can significantly impair the speed of cloudification and make it highly inefficient. For that reason the Project Sylva is getting a new Working Group WG07 - Cluster Networking 💫 After a successful joint PoC of Host Based Routing, done in collaboration among Orange, 6WIND & Deutsche Telekom in Sylva Validation Center Paris, the TSC on the session on 18.06 has decided to start a working group focused on networking and connectivity challenges of the #CNFs and #telco #cloud. The WG07 - Cluster Networking will provide a frame for the community to tackle inherent complexity of telco network constelations and related use cases as well as home for resulting solutions, to support scaling of cloud native transformation in the industry. It will work closely with other working groups to make sure that the solutions are fully compatible and integrated with Sylva stack. 🎯 The goal is to enable effortless, highly automated and intent driven ways to realize network integration of the CNFs running in the telco cloud, while simplifying the data center network operations and network itself. 💡We are happy to welcome all practicioners whom these topics concern to join, work together and achieve this goal. While we are working on the logistics for bootstrapping of the working group and organizing the kick-off, you can get more information from the recording of the TSC: https://lnkd.in/e2kf8jRh. The presentation can be downloaded here: https://lnkd.in/ezZabqgb. Stay tuned for the information about upcoming steps and touchpoints. ☀️ 👋 Vlad Stefan Onutu, Samuel Gareau, Federico Paolinelli, Christopher Dziomba, Jean-Mickaël Guérin, Fabrice P., Guillaume Nevicato, Carlo Cavazzoni

FTTH Rollout in Europe: Why Germany is Still Catching Up Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) is the backbone of the digital future. While countries like Spain, France, and Sweden are leading the way, Germany is still transitioning from copper (DSL/VDSL) to full fiber. From my experience in telecom projects in Latin America, I’ve seen how large-scale FTTH deployments can accelerate once regulation, investment, and skilled workforce align. In Germany, challenges remain: •Long municipal permitting processes •Higher deployment costs •Shortage of trained technicians Still, the momentum is clear: FTTH is essential for high-speed broadband, IoT, and 5G backhaul. What do you think are the main barriers for faster fiber rollout in Europe? #FTTH #Telecommunications #FiberOptics #Germany #Europe #Connectivity

The Problem: Organizations using .me domains frequently face blocked emails and deliverability issues in the Middle East. This is because major email security gateways in the region often categorically block this domain extension. The Reason for the Confusion: The .me domain is the country-code TLD (ccTLD) for Montenegro in Southeast Europe. However, its spelling makes it a popular creative choice for businesses in the Middle East, where "ME" is a common abbreviation for the region. This mismatch between perception and technical reality causes the deliverability problems. Recommended Solution: To ensure optimal email deliverability and build regional trust, businesses should use the official ccTLDs of the target country. Examples include: .ae - United Arab Emirates .sa - Saudi Arabia .qa - Qatar .om - Oman To avoid creating unnecessary security risks and overburdening the SOC team, domain selection must be strategic. Intentionally choosing a .me domain as a last resort is not an ethical practice and should be prohibited, as it deliberately increases the team's workload and exposure to threats ----------- ccTLD – country code top-level domain Here is the live example from our email security gateway
