Since 28 February 2026, with tensions flaring between Iran, the United States and Israel, and as the war in Ukraine continues to take its toll on Europe in the long term, one reality has become clear: national security is no longer confined to traditional military spheres. It is also at stake in networks, in data,
Digital infrastructure is undergoing rapid transformation as the volume and diversity of data traffic continue to grow. Over the past few decades, residential internet speeds have increased significantly, while new digital practices (high-definition streaming, online gaming, artificial intelligence, immersive environments, and connected devices) have intensified the pressure on telecommunications networks.
To meet these evolving
Standardisation and scalability This report analyses deployment models for quantum-safe data transport (QSDT) between 2025 and 2035, based on the Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) risk and standardisation/regulation dynamics. It compares the two technological pillars (PQC as the default and scalable route, QKD as a targeted complement for a limited number of ultra-critical links), describes
Data & forecasts up to 2031 Five years after its launch, 5G has reached middle-age, 5G SA is gaining momentum and 5G-Advanced is beginning to emerge. The telecom industry faces mounting pressure to deliver seamless, fast, and reliable 5G connectivity, driving significant and ongoing investments to meet growing demands. By year-end 2025, 5G has been
The 3rd edition of the IPv6 Workshop, jointly organised by Arcep, IDATE and the IPv6 Forum, recently brought together key stakeholders from the Internet and telecommunications ecosystem. This event provided a valuable opportunity to exchange views on the major challenges and future outlook of IPv6 deployment.
The FTTH Council Europe is bringing its expertise and experience to support the FTTH industry in European regions that deserve good attention. Following the success of its first ‘regional’ event, the FTTH Congress Balkans 2024, this latest edition of the FTTH Congress will focus on the drivers and hurdles for FTTH deployment and take-up in
On March 2, 2026, the vibrant city of Barcelona will host the 5th edition of the Green All-Optical Network Forum 2026, a key gathering for leaders, experts, and partners in the optical network and telecommunications industry.
Once again, the global telecoms ecosystem will converge in Barcelona from 2–5 March for Mobile World Congress, the industry’s most influential annual gathering. The event will bring together telecom operators, device manufacturers, SaaS providers, hyperscalers, network equipment vendors, and enterprise customers to shape the tech agenda for 2026 and beyond.
With more than 100,000 attendees
The transformation of conflicts and security architectures now places telecom operators at the heart of defence capabilities. Mobile networks, fibre optics, submarine cables, data centres and satellite constellations are no longer just civilian infrastructure: they form the digital backbone on which the command, intelligence, logistics, resilience, and continuity of the state depend.
This study examines how AI is transforming the performance of FTTH networks in different national environments by addressing structural limitations in planning, quality control, supervision and maintenance. It draws on real-world examples from international operators that have automated part of their processes, as well as an analysis of technology strategies implemented in various markets.
