A new Ciena and Heavy Reading study signals that AI will become a primary source of metro and long-haul traffic within three years while most optical networks remain only partially prepared. AI training and inference are shifting from contained data center domains to distributed, edge-to-core workflows that stress transport capacity, latency, and automation end-to-end. Expectations are even higher for long-haul: 52% see AI surpassing 30% of traffic and 29% expect AI to account for more than half. Yet only 16% of respondents rate their optical networks as very ready for AI workloads, underscoring an execution gap that will shape capex priorities, service roadmaps, and partnership models through 2027.
A new joint solution from Rohde & Schwarz (R&S) and the Taiwan Space Agency (TASA) consolidates electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and antenna measurements into a single, production-grade test chamber, signaling a shift in how satellite payloads will be validated for Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) and mission-critical services. By integrating both disciplines in one chamber, TASA can validate RF performance, emissions, and immunity under consistent test conditions and configurations, improving time-to-launch and de-risking interoperability with terrestrial networks. The TASA deployment combines R&S hardware, software, and engineering with a locally built Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) reflector to achieve dual-mode EMC and antenna measurements in one chamber.
Vietnam is entering the hyperscale AI data center map, with VNPT and LG CNS positioning to meet local and regional demand. For telecom operators and enterprises, now is the time to align AI roadmaps with data center strategy: plan for high-density racks and liquid cooling, secure GPU capacity, engineer diverse connectivity, and build energy resilience. As the regions AI infrastructure forms, those who co-design workload placement, interconnect, and power from the outset will gain durable cost and performance advantages.
Vodacom Group and Airtel Africa have signed a strategic infrastructure sharing agreement in Mozambique, Tanzania, and the DRC. The dealโ€”pending regulatory approvalโ€”will enable fiber and tower sharing to accelerate 4G/5G rollout, cut infrastructure costs, and expand coverage in underserved regions, driving Africaโ€™s digital inclusion agenda.
