Telecoms

In the ever-evolving landscape of Telecoms & Media, the advent of 5G technology has been introduced in a new era of connectivity and content consumption. This dynamic intersection of telecommunications and media has created unprecedented opportunities and challenges for businesses. From delivering high-speed, low-latency services to meeting the demands of an increasingly data-hungry world, companies must navigate a complex terrain to remain competitive and relevant in this fast-paced industry.

Driving 5G and Fiber Integration in China

To accelerate the deployment of fiber and 5G networks, Chinese telecom operators are actively refining their operational strategies, focusing on enhancing spectrum utilization and diversifying service offerings. In advancing new infrastructure initiatives, operators are strengthening collaboration with specialized facility service providers through approaches such as network co-building and sharing, as well as deepened outsourcing partnerships. These efforts promote intensive and efficient development of communication infrastructure, optimize network coverage, and support the growth of the digital economy and industry-wide digital transformation.

What Are the Market Trends in the Telecoms Industry?

Ultra-high-speed Networks

The proliferation of connected things, the generalisation of 4K television, the surge in mobile video consumption, and the ongoing digital transformation across all industries, including cloud computing and e-health applications make deployment of the very high-speed infrastructure (FTTH, 5G, etc.) essential in order to support the development of the digital economy. Mobile network traffic has almost doubled in just 2 years, from 66 EB per month in Q1 2021 to 126 EB in Q1 2023. Traffic growth is driven by both the rising number of smartphone subscriptions and an increasing average data volume per subscription, fuelled primarily by increased viewing of video content.

Challenges:

Meeting deadline requirements set by the authorities and pool investments in networks

Improving the quality of services

Preparing new economic models

Digital Service

Operators want to capture part of the value of the content and services delivered on their networks. This strategic diversification aims to generate new revenues and improve the customer experience.

Challenges:

Enhancing infrastructure

Repositioning oneself in the value chain against GAFAs

Diversify business lines (e.g. content production, banking, etc.)

Internet of Things

Thanks to connected things (IoT – Internet of Things), the Telecoms industry is given the opportunity to deploy services and applications in new sectors (transport, energy, production, etc.): data monetisation, industry 4.0, connected vehicle and autonomous driving, etc.

Challenges:

Developing new uses for IoT

Valuing the data collected

Guaranteeing the protection of data from IoT
