Brian Beutler, founder and CEO of Alianza, discusses why telecoms is at a critical junction 150 years on from the first phone call, the thinking behind Alianza Crux and the bet that operators remain central in the cognitive communications era.
Dag Peak, chief product & technology officer at Alianza, discusses the two-sided ecosystem behind Alianza Crux and why it is so hard for application developers to integrate with telco networks today.
Spectate or participate. Those are the options on the table for operators as the AI revolution rolls on, Alianza CEO Brian Beutler argued. And the choice could mean the difference between hitching up to a growth engine or being left behind as a dumb pipe - again.
Crux bridges the gap between the Intelligent Communications Fabric concept Alianza introduced at Navigate last year and what the company has dubbed “cognitive communications,” that is, AI-powered voice and messaging experiences.
Alianza CEO Brian Beutler named his AI platform Crux after the hardest pitch on a climb. He's right about the danger of falling, and telcos need to figure out what the rope is attached to.
