The current state of telco operations: challenges and complexity Global telco operators today find themselves squeezed between surging network demand and stagnating revenue growth. According to PwC, global telecom service revenue rose by just 4.3% in 2023 and is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of only 2.9% through 2028—below inflation. […]

Introduction Financial Market Infrastructure Providers (FMIs) continue to accelerate the migration of critical workloads across the trade lifecycle to AWS. During the first half of 2025, Exchanges, Central Counterparty Clearing Houses (CCPs), and Central Security Depositories (CSDs) continue to use cloud services. These services include AI and GenAI capabilities, as engines of innovation and differentiation […]

Note from the Authors: At Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2025, the GSMA hosted a generative AI summit featuring industry leaders across the globe including McKinsey, NVIDIA, and others. In our jointly-hosted fireside chat, we had the chance to talk about a unique symbiosis of telecom and Cloud that we coined Networks for AI, AI for […]

Introduction In today’s fast-paced world of financial technology, sub-milliseconds can make the difference between success and failure in financial transactions. The demands of high-frequency trading, real-time market data processing, and complex financial transactions require an infrastructure that will deliver unparalleled performance, reliability, and fairness. AWS is addressing these needs through a new category of Amazon […]

Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications are evolving into distributed inference pipelines, where models run across multiple tiers, from device edge to AWS, to optimize latency, bandwidth, and privacy. Instead of sending all raw data to AWS, collaborative AI inference can occur at the device, far edge, near edge (often a 5G Multi-access Edge Computing site […]

Introduction: In today’s manufacturing landscape, organizations are integrating artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing. These technologies help improve efficiency, quality control, and innovation across various manufacturing processes. By using real-time data, predictive analytics, and automation, manufacturers can increase productivity and competitiveness in the global market. However, […]

Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is an architecture that enables cloud computing capabilities and services at the edge of a mobile network. By running application workloads closer to mobile customers, network latency is reduced to tens of milliseconds and application response time is improved. As one example of MEC, private MEC brings AWS compute and storage […]

Introduction This three-part series provides guidance on establishing a platform, or Telco Cloud, for Communications Service Providers (CSPs) migrating Telecommunications service provider (Telco) workloads to AWS. Sharing experiences from our Telco users’ journeys to the cloud, we cover the key operational and technical considerations when migrating complex telco workloads such as Core Networks, Radio Access […]

Our Global Infrastructure spans 108 Availability Zones (AZs) within 34 geographic AWS Regions around the world at the time of writing. To provide mobile apps with ultra-low latency access to the AWS cloud, we collaborate with telecom operators globally to offer AWS Wavelength. AWS Wavelength Zones integrate AWS compute and storage services within mobile networks. […]

Healthcare organizations are seeking to leverage advanced technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, and cloud computing to improve patient outcomes and increase efficiency. However, stringent data privacy regulations, data sovereignty considerations, and the need for low latency access to critical applications present challenges for adoption. Monitoring devices utilized in mobile health (mHealth) […]
