Network Now: Transforming networks – what still needs to be done asks Enrique Blanco

Session from the Network Now event, by Mobile Europe.

Enrique Blanco, Group CTIO, Telefónica says, “We are in a moment of unprecedented telco transformation as there is a great value to be captured by the industry. We are changing our networks to be software- and cloud-based, virtualised, intelligent, on-demand, scalable, autonomous and sustainable: we are building a large, distributed supercomputing platform.

“These evolved networks will help us drive profitable and sustainable growth, generate new revenue models, optimise capital investment, and providing a new open ecosystem of innovation. The big question is what we must do once this technology cycle of FTTH and 5G is complete to be ready for the next one?”
