AI and the Demand for Data Center Interconnectivity
Attention is growing in the market towards developing infrastructure capable of accommodating the rising demand and scale of AI. Furthermore, there is a rising trend in the planning and construction of edge data centers located nearer to end users, aimed at addressing the high power requirements of GPUs and the ongoing transition of enterprise IT toward cloud solutions.
What is cloud-native automation and why is it important for telcos?
Automation. It’s not something most of us think about often, and that’s the whole idea. But automation plays a critical role in the IT world, especially for those who remember when software had to be updated manually. That importance takes on an added urgency when you consider next-generation telecommunications networks, as a cloud architecture brings with it layers of complexity that make automation a necessity.
How Electrical Coops are Bridging the Digital Divide: Tri-Co
Imagine living in a world where electricity was a luxury, available only to city dwellers.

Enabling Agile Telecom with Cloud-Native IMS
Over the last few years, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have been very vocal in announcing their rollouts of 5G data services. On the subject of 5G voice services, however, they’ve been largely silent because, frankly, there hasn’t been much to say. 5G network transformation has focused on data, since faster data (and not faster voice) is what customers expected from 5G. But customers also expect to be able to make voice calls on their 5G phones when they roam or travel.
Cloud-Native vs. Cloud-Washing: What's the Difference?
Over the last few years, cloud-native has become a popular buzzword in the tech industry. There are cloud-native applications, cloud-native network functions, even cloud-native storage. But, like many buzzwords, the true meaning of cloud-native has itself become clouded by overuse.
