TRACK 1: Telecom innovations – the future of your business
Vangelis Karelis – senior manager, Network Services, Accenture Consulting: “Telco operators are working intensively to get ready for IoT and 5G.”
“Virtualization and on-demand services are coming in the last 7 years and is an ongoing trend,” said Karelis. “The need for capacity and bandwith pushes us to use multiple networks for the same service,” he added.
Catalin Buliga, chief technology officer, Vodafone Romania: Through virtualization we are offering services to clients so they don’t have to invest in assets.
“We invested to have the best network because that is the foundation,” said Buliga.
What I’m looking every time I have a break is on what our customers are telling us on our network and how the customers use their services with our network, he added.
“We are continuing to invest in customer-driven network performance,” said the CTO of Vodafone Romania. Buliga added that the regulatory framework is a challenge for telecom firms rolling out networks, suggesting that the approval chain on the authorities’ side could be streamlined.
Mihai Tudor, head of service Quality & Efficiency Management, Orange Romania: “As a telecom operator, we are offering the whole mobile and communication services”.
“We are offering stability, flexibility and right price for the services,” he added.
“We are in the middle of a big transformation regarding customer experience,” said Tudor.
“We are moving more from network-driven to customer-driven,” said the Orange official.
Timos Tsokanis, chief technology and information officer, Telekom Romania: “We offer infrastructure as a service that you can grow, reduce or change on demand”.
We have software showing how to optimize network parameters in real time, added the representative of Telekom Romania operator. We keep spare capacity in the network to accommodate market trends, he added.
Dragos Spataru, head of Telephone and Mobile Communications Division, RCS & RDS: “We are trying to push on this to have this big data analytics working for us so as to identify what the problem is faster, implement AI to discover different patterns that can cause problems.”
