Join Network X 2025 to turn technical ambition into commercial advantage. Dive into the next generation of mobile innovation - from AI-RAN to 5G Advanced and LEO integration - with real-world use cases, strategic guidance, and partner-ready solutions.
The Mobile Networks Monetization Challenge
After two years of steep decline in 2023 and 2024, 2025 is expected to be a year of stabilization for the RAN market. In 2025, the opportunity for mobile operators lies in AI-RAN, 5G advanced and LEOs as part of a future mobile network.
The Monetisation Challenge
5G deployments have yet to deliver on promised ROI, creating skepticism around future investments in 6G and new technologies.
Operators are investing in AI and automation, but adoption across the RAN is inconsistent, and commercial use cases remain immature.
Disjointed strategies for RAN evolution, Open RAN, and 5G Standalone threaten to delay transformation and stunt competitive advantage.
LEO integration remains under-explored, despite its potential to enhance coverage and backhaul capabilities.
The complexity of integrating cloud-native architectures and agentic AI into mobile infrastructure raises operational challenges.
Without clear benchmarks and successful models, telcos risk under-leveraging transformative mobile technologies.
