The Evolving Digital Infra Ecosystem: Implications for Network Operators, Vendors and Investors

Wireless infrastructure is now part of a broader digital ecosystem that spans towers, fiber, small cells, data centers, satellites, and power systems. This session explores how AI is driving demand across this stack as data moves from centralized “AI factories” to the edge for real-time inference. Panelists will discuss the integration of these layers, the connectivity challenges ahead, and the key opportunities and risks as AI reshapes network investment over the next several years.
