Welcome to your Q2 update from the GSMA Future Networks Forum.
This edition brings together the latest insights, case studies and community releases shaping the next phase of network transformation, from the commercial opportunities of 5G Standalone and 5G-Advanced, to the growing role of AI-native networks, 6G, non-terrestrial connectivity and network compute.
Following MWC Shanghai, we explore how the industry is moving from deployment to measurable value, with intelligent, programmable and adaptive networks opening new possibilities for operators, enterprises and the wider ecosystem. You’ll also find new case studies from Telia and Syniverse, the latest reports from the Mobile AI Community and 6G Community, plus the upcoming opportunity to connect through the GSMA 6G Community Workshop in Prague and the GSMA Fusion webinar taking place at the end of the month.
We hope you find this edition useful and look forward to continuing the conversation as we work together to shape the future of intelligent connectivity. | | |
