Trends and State of the Telecommunications Industry

During his 11-year tenure at Nokia and its subsidiaries, David Eckard has journeyed from design engineer to chief technology officer to his current position: vice president of strategy and technology of North America. With 2021 ending, Eckard recently joined Nokia Today podcast host Tyler Kern to discuss the latest trends in the telecommunications industry and what may lie ahead in 2022. The telecommunications industry used to be a “layered cake,” as Eckard described. Everyone in the market was responsible for something, whether that was chipsets, product components, product creators, or service providers. When the iPhone era arrived, services decoupled, causing these layers to interconnect. Decoupling brings concerns with reliability, security and who will make everything work while providing performance, speed, scalability, and centralization. “At the end of the day, the big challenges we are seeing is who actually owns that customer?” Eckard said. “Because in the past, these service providers were the ones who truly owned those customers. Now, with the webscale companies coming in such as Amazon and Microsoft, they all have such a huge and immense suite of resources, of applications and tools that they are now opening up for others to build upon,” he continued. The main innovation challenge is how well teams, companies and individuals will bring things to market and execute them. Consumer acceptance is the easy part. Eckard stated, “The pace of acceptance of innovation, the acceptance of new technology into those spaces is just phenomenal.” Obsolescence of rapidly certain technologies also presents the challenge of how to carry data forward and not lose it. Eckard also touched on a dilemma that innovators face: How will they address disrupted technologies versus sustained ones? Large companies will need to bring technologies to scale to allow sustenance.

A Peek into the Future of 6G with Nokia Today

First, it was 3G, then 4G, now 5G, and now — you guessed it! — around 2030, the world will see the launch of 6G. Nokia Today Host Tyler Kern spoke with Grace Koh, vice president of legislative affairs at Nokia, and Devaki Chandramouli, Next G Alliance (NGA) Steering Group co-chair. Technology leaders will continue enhancing 5G for life-saving services and increasing economic benefit for consumers. Concurrently, leaders are looking at foundational requirements for 6G. Chandramouli said, “6G is envisioned to serve as a network that takes us from connectivity to togetherness, information to knowledge, and effectiveness to purpose.” According to Chandramouli, the NGA will help accomplish this prediction through its purpose of advancing U.S. technology by bringing together industry players to drive innovation and cooperate with other international organizations. The NGA is divided into a full-members group, steering group, six working groups and two committees. The full-members group sets strategy and policies while the steering group oversees strategy implementation, provides steering recommendations and oversees the working groups. The working groups have various specific responsibilities. Koh is a member of the policy committee, which sets a regulatory environment by interfacing with government and encouraging rules, laws and regulations that encourage innovation in the 6G world. “It’s very exciting to be able to show the government how they can participate in coordinating, leading and contributing to day-to-day activities like 6G development,” Koh shared. As for the future, Koh stated: “By working together, of course we can accelerate innovation and leverage the research to solve the challenges and help the U.S. attain tech leadership but also develop 6G technology for the good of the mankind.” The Nokia Today podcast is available on Spotify, Apple iTunes, and Google Podcast.

Digital Transformation Strategies in the Age of COVID: Nokia Today

Digital transformation in the workplace can be complicated, however, it is necessary, as digital ecosystems will account for more than $60 trillion by 2025, according to data from McKinsey. No matter their thoughts, investing in digital technology will be critical to keeping companies relevant. On this episode of the podcast, Host Tyler Kern spoke with Arquelle Shaw, Senior Vice President of Americas Sales at Equinix, a digital infrastructure company that interconnects industry-leading organizations in finance, manufacturing, mobility, transportation, government, healthcare, and education across a cloud-first world. They talked about the role of critical infrastructure in digital transformation. “Our platform, which is built based on a number of factors: Data centers, our backbone, and also our digital services, such as Network Edge, enables our customers to launch their services globally in a very rapid manner in an agile way, and to really leap ahead with confidence in their digital transformation,” Shaw explained. Navigating any sort of digital transformation can be complex. This causes many companies to evaluate where their starting point is, and unfortunately most find that they don’t have the technology and network capable of supporting these transformations when they change their business. “A lot of companies tell us their strategy is fragmented, and we really saw that when COVID started,” Shaw said. “They just didn’t have a plan, or they had a plan that was more visionary.”

Forging a Path Forward with UScellular

Blazing a path forward means learning lessons from the past. And UScellular follows that sage advice, as Kim Kerr, Senior VP, Enterprise Sales and Operations for UScellular, attested to during her recent stop by Nokia Today and her chat with host Tyler Kern. With 25 years in the telecom industry, Kerr’s seen and learned quite a few lessons. One of the first lessons she mentioned is that, no matter how long one’s worked in an industry, new opportunities will always provide surprising and enlightening changes. Another lesson Kerr said was of vital importance was to make sure she woke up every day going to work doing something she loved to do at a job; she recognized who they were, what they were about and whose values aligned with hers. “As it turned out, I hit the trifecta of goodness coming into UScellular,” Kerr said. Kerr said it is an exciting time for UScellular to build, grow and transform into a world-class business sales organization. “And when you say, build, grow and transform, normally, companies either build and grow, or you’re building and transforming; it’s like one or the other,” Kerr said. “We’re doing all of it. So, that involves expanding channels on the business side. It involves going into segmentation and specialization. It’s this incredible opportunity to lean into IoT, what’s happening to that industry, and emerging technologies like 5G. How do we grow that? It’s just very exciting.” UScellular sees the potential for many different opportunities, and Kerr said they are leaving no stone unturned in capitalizing on these many avenues for growth. As a tier 4 company in 21 states, Kerr said they were taking a hyper-local approach to capitalize on these opportunities. “Our focus continues to be serving and supporting local communities to provide a fast and reliable network,” Kerr said.
