Telecom is at a crossroads. Traditional strategies focused on speed and capacity no longer guarantee growth. As customers demand smarter, more personalized experiences, telcos face a choice: remain data pipes or evolve into intelligent platforms. This documentary series explores how AI, orchestration, and programmable APIs are enabling providers to reclaim their role as innovators, transforming legacy networks into revenue-generating ecosystems.

The Experience layer adds new value in voice offerings. Part of the Alianza Intelligent Communications Fabric, the Experience layer rides atop the fabric’s Orchestration and Infrastructure layers.

Alianza’s new Intelligent Communications Fabric is built to make it faster and easier for service providers to modernize their networks and participate in the AI-powered communications era.

Operators have built the roads, but others are collecting the tolls. However, now there is an opportunity to regain their competitive edge and reestablish themselves as key innovators in the digital economy. By embedding AI across their operations, they can unlock new revenue streams and finally close the long-standing monetization gap – but before that, they must modernize the network.

Telecommunications has been on the world’s most expensive treadmill – lots of movement, but not much forward progress. Over the past decade, service providers have invested more than $3.6 trillion in network infrastructure. The payoff? Pretty much zero revenue growth.
