The Changing Consumer Landscape - Telco Strategies for Success

The consumer landscape is changing and so is demand for telco services. Service Providers need a new strategy to stay relevant. Driven in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for both core broadband and value-added services is growing. This presents new challenges and opportunities for operators seeking growth "in the home". However, traditional growth strategies, like the triple play, have reached maturity - telcos must therefore find new ways to derive sustained growth and stay relevant in the space. This report looks at the different strategies telcos can pursue to address the changing demands of consumers. Commissioned by Cisco Umbrella and undertaken by STL Partners, it draws on an interview programme with eight operators, as well as a survey of more than 1100+ consumers globally. As well as canvassing consumers' high-level views of telcos and their services, the survey explores consumer willingness to buy cybersecurity services from telcos in some depth.

Telna Whitepaper: The Inflection Point for Cellular IoT

It is no secret that the use of cellular technology for IoT has fallen short of expectations that were set a decade ago. Nevertheless, cellular IoT has seen relatively strong growth over the past three years, indicating that the market is moving in a positive direction. The question remains however, if and when cellular IoT will see an 'inflection point': the stage where widespread growth towards mass adoption of a technology occurs.

Telna Whitepaper: Accelerating Cellular IoT & Solving Ecosystem Complexities

Cellular connectivity is expected to play a vital role in supporting new IoT strategies developed by businesses responding to the threat posed by Covid-19. Reliability, flexibility and security are essential features of the technology, and these are fundamental to a successful IoT project that has reached beyond the pilot phase. But is the industry ready to respond to this demand? High volume IoT deployments are dependent on minimizing outlay, which in turn requires that overall ecosystem complexity is minimized. Longer time-to-market means lost revenue, effectively increasing the cost of IoT.

The Digital Revolution has been one of the hot topics in the press and medias over the last months. From a Telecom Operator standpoint, the digital revolution basically means a myriad of new services: the so-called 'digital services'. Along with the traditional services (Voice, SMS and good old data services), the operators have extended their portfolio to a large panel of new services:

The next generation of connected experience - Precision, protection and personalization

The smart home concept started out as a dream, but it turned into a mess. IoT enthusiasts were so excited that they can connect every possible item to the internet, that they forgot to ask if they should. Today we are getting closer to Gartner's prediction of 20.4B of connected devices, but a truly smart experience seems to be light years away.

Think DevOps for OSS Solution Development

DevOps promotes faster, incremental, iterative solution delivery and encourages cooperation. Microservices give each DevOps teams responsibility for small system areas, which they can update in minutes. With automation and "Continuous Everything", PaaS (Platform as a Service) solutions emerge, in which each layer of abstraction is delivered and maintained by the operations team. Treating microservices as code means they can be maintained as a standard, and well-documented APIs facilitate the development of new products and features automatically.

A New Era of Business-Critical Wi-Fi Assurance

For example, smart devices have substantially increased the number of users on the wireless network. This not only creates capacity, coverage, and interference issues that adversely impact performance, but it severely complicates Wi-Fi troubleshooting. There are way more mobile hardware platforms, operating systems, and applications today than a decade ago, which cause IT to constantly react to user issues vs. proactively planning ahead of them. Using packet sniffers and manual processes to identify and remediate problems across all these different variables just won't scale, creating the need for a better solution for wireless operations in today's smart device era.

CSPs are using customer journey mapping to understand how customers behave before, during and after making a purchase. Comarch has demonstrated that motivation via personalized offers keeps customers engaged during the purchase process. Creating shorter journeys, so it's easy for customers to re-commit when their contract expires, also works. And satisfied customers may become brand advocates, shortening the journey for acquaintances via referral programs.

Network operators will reap great rewards in terms of agility and automation with the implementation of virtualization and NFV orchestration.

Boosting Telco Innovation – How SDN/NFV Enables New Services

Network function virtualization and software-defined networks allow operators to empower their partners with BSS/OSS tools to manage their own "slice" of the network – delivering applications and service quality at a level previously unimaginable. The benefits for an operator and their partners are clear: innovative product and service offers gain and retain customers, generating revenue for both. This is possible because SDN/NFV free networks from their physical constraints, enabling dynamic optimization and customer-centric delivery. From games to sport, operators and partners can work in symbiosis to present customers with the quality of service that they are increasingly demanding. The same is true in the business sector, with, for example, telcos and banks offering one-stop services in a pragmatic, customer-focused manner made possible because telcos can provide self-empowerment tools.

Communication service providers (CSPs) are going through rough times trying to reinvent themselves in an age when the network is becoming a commodity. Even though they continue investing in network expansion and quality, network usage is growing rapidly. Therefore, telecom operators are constantly focused on optimizing the utilization of resources in their networks, in order to do more with less.
