In this episode of The Five Nine, host Diana Goovaerts explores what the future of the radio access network could look like as 5G matures, 6G takes shape and AI pushes telecom toward a new era of software-driven networks.

With insight from Ericsson North Americas CTO Joe Constantine, Mobile Experts founder and president Joe Madden and Samsung Electronics America’s Shamik Shah, this episode breaks down what AI-RAN really means, whether GPUs are actually needed in the mobile network, how 6G could become more of a software upgrade than a hardware refresh, and why Open RAN may be moving from industry hype to operational plumbing.

The conversation also tackles one of telecom’s biggest business questions: Can they escape the dumb pipe trap?

AI-RAN, 6G and the Future of Mobile Networks

What does “sustainable” even mean when AI demand – and data center projects – are accelerating? In this episode, we unpack what sustainability means in the AI era, where power and water factor in and how data center sustainability is increasingly about more than just how electricity is being generated.

Data Center 2.0 - The New Sustainability Math

Software is what makes a modern data center tick. But sorting through what goes where in terms of IT, OT and beyond can be tricky. We untangle this complex web and shine on spotlight on how AI is driving change in the systems that keep compute running smoothly. #AI #software #datacenters
