| | September 20176CIOReviewThe growth of IoT combined with the penetration of smartphones continues to create opportunities for players in the telecom sector that encompass many sub sectors including wireless and wireline carriers, network infrastructure companies, and device manufacturers. The new strategies to leverage the power of connectivity are laying out a fresh set of expectations in front of the telecom companies. To fulfill these requirements, the players in the telecom industry are rapidly embracing innovative platforms and integrated technologies.The concept of physical network is being replaced by the "software-driven" ones--including Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN)--that will bring in agility. This is enabling service providers to transform their network and provide users faster service enablement. Fundamentally offering more control over the networks, SDN and NFV technologies are increasingly making the existing infrastructure more functional with an underlying cloud-centric operational model. This is lowering the operational costs as well. Further, operators are leveraging non-traditional methods like Internet of Things applications, MPayment, and advanced communications technologies to provide their users a seamless experience. With quality, reliability, and affordability becoming the primary drivers for technology adoption in the telecom sector, we will see a tremendous transformation in the coming years. In order to help companies reap the benefits of advanced technologies, we are presenting to you this special edition on telecom sector.
