Network equipment providers

Reimagining network equipment providers’ role in the telco value chain

The global network equipment provider (NEP) market is navigating a wave of major trends, including geopolitical constraint, telco cloud adoption, the drive for new revenue streams (such as NaaS APIs), advanced connectivity technologies, and sustainability.

These trends present both significant challenges and opportunities for growth and innovation, underscoring the need for adaptation to manage disruption and seize its growth potential.

ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ empowers NEPs to accelerate their product engineering to be positioned for cloud native solutions and reimagine their business. We also help NEPs expand their role within high-value segments of the telco value chain. Our tailored approach addresses the key trends within the market, as well as the unique needs of each organization, enabling NEPs to embrace the digital future and play a defining role in the new age of connectivity.

What we do

At ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½, we help NEPs navigate disruption within the telecom industry and the broader tech landscape, empowering them with cloud native telco network function engineering, tools, strategies , and innovations needed to lead and thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

Here we explore six high-impact areas of focus that are essential for NEPs success in a rapidly changing landscape
