Microsoft Telecommunications Newsletter | May 2021Rick Lievano
In almost every conversation, I’m astounded by the amount of folks who mention the recent disruption that’s occurred in this industry. As the old adage goes: “…the only constant has been change.” Digital disruption has fueled digital transformation, and with the proliferation of companies offering broader arrays of services, enterprises are scrambling to keep up and offer newer and better things.
There’s been major consolidation across Telco and Media, and the fight for audience and revenue is more fierce than ever. As we have seen in these last few weeks, there have been industry changing merger talks between Warner Media and Discovery, Bouygues and M6 Groupe from Bertelsmann, and even Amazon and MGM. While we’re proud and confident in our most recent acquisitions, it’s safe to say that the competition is heating up.

5G is not just another generation of mobile communications technology. 5G can be seen as "the network of networks" and it is going to have a profound impact on all human activities, the economy and the society. In fact, 5G can be seen as the digitalization catalyst for industries, as a variety of use cases will be either enhanced or created by the use of 5G. Immersive gaming, autonomous driving, remote robotic surgery and augmented reality support in maintenance and repair situations are just some of the use cases that will mostly benefit from the introduction of 5G. But what is the business potential of 5G? Ericsson, together with Arthur D. Little recently made a unique study in order to understand the industrial digitalization revenues for ICT players in 8 key industries. We have shared these findings with the IEEE 5G Summit's audience (Thessaloniki, July 11, 2017).

The relationship between IT and Telecom
Today, telecommunications has evolved to facilitate communication through computers, cloud-based technology, and similar other advanced IT technologies that were unimaginable even a decade ago. People no longer need to be in the office to connect with their teammates, VoIP systems can be integrated with an app to make connections quicker! Thus, enabling a tech-savvy ecosystem that facilitates improved employee experience and higher productivity for a business.
Role of IT in the Telecom Industry:
1. Cloud Computing
Cloud networking inherently simplifies and speeds up networking functionalities through the use of virtual routers, bridges, and adapters. Telecoms are leveraging this property of cloud computing to create Virtualized Radio Access Networks (vRAN) facilitating agility, flexibility, and efficiency in mobile networks.
2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
Three out of four business executives believe that AI will drive efficiency in the future says Harvard Business Review (HBR). Innovative and forward-facing providers are already pairing AI with ML and other emerging technologies to improve learning, optimize performance, and enhance consumer satisfaction. The role of IT-based services like data science and analytics, in the telecom industry, is what brings services like customized UX and predictive maintenance to end-users.
3. Natural Language Processing (NLP)
For every minute a customer waits to resolve their problem, the Consumer Service Index (CSI) takes a dive. Walmart resolved this issue with the help of NLP powered by telecom services. Their bot now resolves up to 90% of consumer queries.
Today, technology is progressing rapidly, this change and development cause the rate of change to increase until it eventually becomes exponential. However, technological trends and leading technologies are changing. Many things have changed this year since the outbreak of COVID-19, making IT professionals realize that tomorrow their position in the contactless world will not remain the same. And in 2020-21, an IT specialist can continuously learn, unlearn and relearn (out of necessity if not desire).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

5. AI And ML
5G will act as a medium to drive integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning (ML) into the network edge. The next-generation wireless networks will leverage
AI and ML to forecast end-user distribution, predict peak traffic, and enhance network
capability. The ML algorithms will make it easier for telecom companies to implement
network slicing and beamforming. AI and ML will create opportunities for telecom
companies to boost network experience and curtail network cost through automation. AI-
based communication will further lead to the development of smart cities by facilitating
decision making based on real-time data.

9. Network Footprint Expansion
In 2021, many enterprises and organization will allow employees to work from home.
Likewise, many students prefer online live classes or eLearning to conventional
classrooms in the post-pandemic worlds. Also, 5G is expected to increase mobile data
usage by 400% in the near future. That is why; the telecom companies will expand
network footprint to meet the needs of enterprise and residential consumers. Also, they
have to maintain network speed and reliability to support massive machine-type
interactions. They will keep expanding the already-established network as well as
upgrade the existing network to leverage RAN and facilitate mass-scale 5G
implementation.
www.simnovus.com
marketing@simnovus.com
10. Diversified Ecosystem
In 2020, leading network operators, device manufacturers, and chip-manufacturers
formed the Open RAN Policy Coalition with the aim to keep wireless technologies like 5G
open and interoperable. The members of the coalition have already launched projects
and announced plans to facilitate designing and implementation of modular telecom
networks that do not depend upon a single vendor. In 2021, more network operators are
