There is no question about it, the pandemic has triggered a quantum leap in the digital transformation and, as a result, connectivity requirements have been transformed forever. Expectations are now all about automated, virtualized, seamless, secured networks that offer both global reach and real-time scalable bandwidth.
Connectivity is definitely the cornerstone of society which gives us, carriers, a unique position. Our challenge is now to stay relevant and develop capabilities to enable the digital society. To remain valuable partners in this new world, we therefore have to offer stronger and more responsive networks, but also go beyond connectivity to propose personalized digital customer journeys, monetization solutions, security design options and green technologies.
Looking ahead, the full introduction of 5G will accelerate the digital shift, while intensifying the verticalization of our industry, triggering the move away from a one-size-fits-all environment towards an hyper-personalization and hyper-virtualization of the entire value-chain. Standard and automized network functions shall enable tailored solutions to support the unique use cases of our customers: this is the new foundation of our business. We have the acumen to make this shift, which involves offering both leading-edge global connectivity and value-added personalized solutions on top.
