AI-driven network operations are increasingly becoming central to how service providers manage network complexity, optimize performance, and deliver services faster and more efficiently. AI is no longer just an application-layer technology, it’s becoming foundational to how modern service provider’s networks function.However, to benefit from this shift, service provider infrastructure must become AI-native, which requires embedding AI directly into network operations, service platforms, and security models across the core, edge, and network. With this in mind, Red Hat is teaming up with NV

Powering the telco to techco evolution through polycloud, agentic AI, and digital trust

The clock is ticking for communications service providers (CSPs). To survive in the telecommunications (telco) industry, every CSP should consider making steps to transition to a “techco” model, where CSPs don’t just provide connectivity but also software and platform innovation. StarHub, a leading Singapore CSP, has been driving its own telco-to-techco transformation for the past three years by emphasizing open source innovation, providing the backbone for polycloud agility and driving towards a future state as a trusted service provider (TSP).Polycloud agility: The engine for real-time
