Thought Leadership Council Reports
Our Partners and companies with upgraded listings have the option of purchasing a report generated by the Thought Leadership Council (TLC), a unique research initiative. TLC is a select group of 140+ communications service providers (CSPs) with network-level expertise.
Council members take part in surveys and interviews about key communications trends and technologies. TLC circumvents traditional industry hype to ascertain how service providers are really responding to important industry happenings. What makes this initiative so unique is that participants discuss issues in a completely anonymous forum, enabling them to share insights and express business realities that otherwise could not be shared.
Following are examples of key TLC reports that address trends in automation:
This vendor-sponsored report indicates that service assurance is a key factor to CSP automation plans.
This TLC report indicates that CSPs already have started automating networks, despite that they don't have master plans in place to do so.

Tuesday, April 11, 2023 - 11:00 a.m. New York / 4:00 p.m. London
Communication service providers (CSPs) are changing the landscape of 5G networks as they continue to push the boundaries with new technologies and services. From containers to multi-access edge computing (MEC), to private 5G and more, these organizations are chasing innovative ways to deliver value in new ways.
The traditional telco cloud has evolved. 5G cannot be underutilized as yet another connectivity pipe. Instead, it must be leveraged as a vehicle to transform networks of connectivity pipes into highly flexible services on a network-as-a-platform. This will help CSPs leverage the full potential of 5G and 5G Advanced Service Based Architecture (SBA) to enable AI-to-AI communication, instant service creation, monetizable automated decision making, etc.
Learn how peers and leaders in the telco industry created network-as-a-platform models– discussing their migration to multi-tenant cloud-native converged core platforms; unified core; messaging; application services with Service Based Architecture (SBA) and Service Based Interface (SBI) multi-cloud autonomous operations; network slicing; and 3GPP-based AI/ML enablement.
5G pipe to network-as-a-platform discussion topics:
- NFV journey with 4G LTE: what to apply to 5G cloud-native transformation
- Converged 4G/5G telco cloud platform: the do’s and don’ts
- Modernized Edge-to-Core Network: Considerations for unified architecture vision
- 5G network-as-a-platform: Leverage the vision and monetize
