Broadband Design: The Intelligent Middle Mile

With the surge in public funding for rural communities, smart investment in Middle Mile transport can not only enhance your investments in outside plant and access networks but can also provide new sources of revenue, and add OpEx improvements to your CapEx spend. During this webinar on June 12th, experts from Ribbon will discuss current trends in broadband network design, focusing on the technical and financial benefits of the Intelligent Middle Mile.

Building the Intelligent Middle Mile

During a recent webinar, Ribbon's Jonathan Homa, Senior Director, Solutions Marketing, and David Stokes, Head of IP Portfolio Marketing, discussed the pivotal role the middle mile network plays for Service Providers in taking advantage of the hugely increased access capacity recent investments in fiber and 5G offer. Service Providers require efficient, cost-effective solutions for this critical link in network connectivity.

Beyond the Hype: Understanding the Real Value of AI for Service Providers

I recently wrote about how AI can support unified communications in the enterprise, but its applications are much broader than that, and communications service providers also have the opportunity to benefit. In a recent Gartner survey, 95% of telecom CIOs said they plan to implement AI/ML technologies by 2026 and 79% said they plan to increase their AI/ML investments.

Broadband Architecture for the Future

The pace of technological innovation, user demand, and the sophistication of new applications are all rapidly increasing. Will your network be able to keep up? If you build today, will the network support what your customers will require in 5 years? What about 10 years? Join us to discuss the latest developments in utilities-based middle-mile architecture and how you can confidently meet tomorrow's requirements. Learn how to create a customized and secure OT network while delivering high-revenue services to premium broadband customers.

AI + PSTN = Changing the UC Landscape

While last month’s Enterprise Connect 2024 (EC24) show seemed a bit light in terms of headline news, it did offer one high impact storyline around the integration of AI services with the PSTN. EC24 showcased the addition of AI services, including transcription and meeting minutes, to PSTN call using popular UC services (Teams, Zoom, Webex, Ring Central). While these have been in place for conference calls for almost a year, AI for one-to-one calls via the PSTN is new in 2024.
