Telecom
As telecom operators move from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide execution, AI-native operating models are key to network automation, customer operations, service assurance and new revenue growth

For telecom providers, infrastructure transformation must strengthen resilience, agility and sustainability without interrupting the services customers rely on every day
As eSIM adoption expands from smartphones to IoT and Physical AI systems, telecom leaders need to think beyond connectivity and prepare for a more flexible, secure and ecosystem-driven model
As AI changes roles, skills and the pace of work, education must move toward continuous learning that combines technical fluency with critical thinking, judgment and practical application

As AI moves from centralized models to distributed intelligence, telecom networks are emerging as the critical infrastructure that connects creation, distribution and real-world application of AI

The path to 6G is being shaped by three converging shifts: AI-native design, simulation-first development and tighter integration between silicon, software and autonomous operations

AI is pushing enterprises to move beyond isolated pilots toward a more disciplined model built on workflows, data quality and governance

At MWC 2026, leaders from Axiata Digital Labs, Ericsson and HCLTech explored what it takes to move from AI-enabled experimentation to truly AI-native enterprises

At MWC 2026, the conversation around AI has clearly shifted: The question is no longer whether enterprises should experiment with AI, but how they convert experimentation into measurable, scalable ROI

As AI systems become more distributed, autonomous and more deeply embedded into physical environments, one reality is becoming clear: intelligence is only as strong as the network that underpins it

Satellite connectivity is expanding the reach of telecom networks, enabling new AI-driven services beyond traditional fiber and tower infrastructure

At MWC 2026, leaders from Circles Aspire and HCLTech discussed why traditional digital transformation has fallen short and why AI must sit at the core of telecom architecture to drive real disruption
