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.
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.
