Europe’s 2 GHz MSS Band

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

Who Controls the Access Layer?

LEO constellations and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) are not just adding new connectivity. They are reshaping control within hybrid terrestrial + satellite architectures.

Between 2026 and 2030, NTN is unlikely to materially increase total telecom capex in mature markets. Instead, it will redistribute value—away from marginal access expansion and toward integration,

Making converged transport operationally viable at scale

As traffic growth driven by cloud, video, AI and mobile continues to outpace transport revenue growth, backbone and metro networks face structural margin pressure. IP-optical convergence has improved architectural efficiency, but as it scales, the constraint shifts: technical integration alone does not ensure operational scalability, cross-layer visibility, SLA assurance or

Evolving Fixed Access Economics in the 25G and 50G PON Era

This report examines how the transition toward 25G and 50G PON reshapes fixed access economics beyond simple speed upgrades.
While next-generation PON technologies are technically mature, their economic justification remains highly selective, driven by utilisation uncertainty, shorter refresh cycles and rising governance complexity.

Fibre for SMEs

As residential FTTH markets across Europe mature, operators face slowing growth and diminishing returns on further household expansion. At the same time, SMEs remain significantly underserved: their fibre coverage lags residential by 20–40 points, and most operate below the performance thresholds required for cloud, cybersecurity and hybrid work.
