Cisco executives predict that AI will significantly increase network demand, creating new revenue opportunities for telcos beyond connectivity. Cisco launched its Cloud Control platform, which can serve as an operational foundation for telcos to deliver enterprise-grade AI infrastructure services in partnership with Cisco. The company aims to leverage its cross-industry expertise to help telcos build and tune AI services for enterprises.
Cisco is positioning itself to help telcos capitalize on the impending surge in network demand from AI. By offering platforms like Cloud Control, Cisco aims to enable telcos to evolve beyond connectivity providers into offering enterprise-grade AI infrastructure services, leveraging existing assets like central offices. This strategy highlights a potential path for telcos to monetize their physical infrastructure directly for AI processing and inferencing, rather than just leasing space. Watch for how many major telcos openly adopt and integrate Cisco's Cloud Control or similar platforms within the next 12-18 months to offer new AI-centric services.
