Intelligent 5G & edge

Pioneering 5G Open Networks and the full ecosystem.

5G and Edge are the foundation of data-driven transformation: they will change the way everyone – companies, governments and consumers – interact and do business, leading to ground-breaking innovations and services.

At the same time, telco players are facing major challenges and needs: contain network development – deployment and management costs, diversify to generate new revenues and monetize their 5G assets while facing intense competition. Telco players need to play a key role in the new connected and digital industry.

Our intelligent 5G & Edge strategy is pioneering Open Networks, disaggregation and the full ecosystem. It aims to help our telco clients strategize, build, transform and deliver business value with their next generation network while minimizing TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

Relying on a worldwide network of 10,000+ telco engineers, we provide a unique combination of technology expertise, multi-industry knowledge and innovative mindset. We offer the design and integration of Advanced Networks, 5G & Edge.
