The network can become part of the AI supply chain
WHY THIS THE TELCO AI GRID CHALLENGES?
Distributed AI creates a new role for the telco network

AI inference, agentic services and industrial workloads increasingly need local execution, predictable latency and control over where data and models run. Telcos can combine distributed infrastructure, network intelligence and sovereignty capabilities to host, route and govern AI workloads closer to demand.
