Invisible Infrastructure: Undetected Assets Drain Telecom Revenue

Invisible infrastructure is costing telecom operators more than they realize. Hidden fibers, circuits, and equipment continue using power and budget without generating revenue, all because they slip out of inventory and operational records. This article explains how these blind spots form, why they persist, and how VC4’s Service2Create helps operators regain full visibility so they can cut waste, speed up delivery, and protect revenue.

LG Uplus & AWS agentic AI speeds cloud-native network deployment

LG Uplus & AWS agentic AI speeds cloud-native network deployment
LG Uplus is working with AWS on agentic AI that automates installation of cloud‑native network software, with early claims of up to 80% faster turn‑ups versus manual methods. LG Uplus and AWS partnered to develop an AI-driven approach that installs complex network software stacks without human intervention. The system uses Amazon Bedrock alongside AWS’s Strands-Agents SDK to orchestrate multiple cooperating AI agents. These agents are pre-trained on network design and implementation documents so they can execute the full workflow - provisioning cloud infrastructure, collecting device and network parameters, generating configurations, performing installation, and troubleshooting.

Secret Service Stops SIM‑Farm Telecom Security Threat Near UNGA

Secret Service Stops SIM‑Farm Telecom Security Threat Near UNGA
As the U.N. General Assembly convened, U.S. authorities quietly removed a dense cluster of SIM servers and cards that investigators say could have overloaded mobile networks and disrupted emergency communications across the New York metro area. Investigators seized more than 300 SIM servers and roughly 100,000 SIM cards distributed across multiple sites within 35 miles of the United Nations complex. Mass device farms can generate signaling storms that overwhelm cell sites and the mobile core, similar in effect to a distributed denial-of-service attack.

African AI Data Centres: MTN and Cassava Scale Sovereign Compute
African AI Compute Is Moving Local. Telecom operators and digital infrastructure players are racing to stand up AI-grade capacity on the continent as demand, latency, and data-sovereignty pressures converge. MTN Group is negotiating with US and European partners to co-invest in AI-ready facilities and offer capacity to enterprises across multiple African markets. Cassava Technologies is accelerating its sovereign cloud strategy with five AI-focused facilities slated across key African markets in the next 12 months. Earlier this year, Cassava partnered with Nvidia to launch an AI data centre in South Africa powered by the chipmaker’s GPUs, establishing a reference for accelerated infrastructure on the continent.

Small Cells Forecast 2030: 61M Shipments, Neutral Host & 5G SA

LA28 selects T‑Mobile 5G as Official Telecom Provider
The Small Cell Forum’s 2025 Market Forecast points to a market shifting from experimentation to scaled deployment, with enterprise demand and new business models driving a faster cadence. SCF forecasts cumulative small-cell shipments to reach 61 million units by 2030, supporting an installed base of roughly 54.4–54.5 million radio units and annual vendor/integrator revenues of about USD 4.23 billion. Indoor enterprise deployments continue to dominate, representing about 60% of rollouts in 2023–2024. SCF expects 5G SA small cells to grow at a 56% CAGR through 2030, with two-thirds of enterprise small cells co-located with edge compute by 2030.
