A quiet August? Not for sharing tech and telecom stories around the TeleGeography office.
Take a peek at what we've been reading over the last month, from thought pieces on macroeconomic forces impacting enterprise networks to mulling over subsea energy interconnectors, as one does.
Grab your headphones, we've got a podcast recommendation.
TeleGeography Senior Manager of Enterprise Research Greg Bryan recently visited MEF's Executives at the Edge podcast. He chatted with host and MEF co-founder Pascal Menezes about the evolving landscape of enterprise networking as SD-WAN becomes the norm and SASE gains traction.
Listen in as the pair assesses how MPLS is declining (yet persisting) and why NaaS is generating buzz.
We started collecting our monthly dose of telecom reading recommendations when it occurred to us: this reading list is somewhat despairing.
Earthquake-based cable outages, infrastructure security concerns—a headline that literally includes the words "solar catastrophe." We don't mean to bring the room down with our July picks, but maybe have something lighter queued up for later.
Looking back on June 2024, we can't help but notice the plethora of submarine cable updates and announcements that littered our exchanges. (And you know we're always watching for the latest cable news.)
This month didn't disappoint. Just look at this small sampling of news and notes from around the industry in the last three weeks alone:
Mike Constable has logged many hours in digital infrastructure.
He's the mind behind Infra-Analytics Pte Ltd, a strategic consulting and advisory firm. His experience boasts time spent time in leadership and strategic roles, commercial, technical, and project management positions on both the supply and investment side.
Dr. Steve Grubb’s fascination with subsea cable technology began in the 1990s. Thirty years later, now CEO of Grubb Blue Ocean Solutions, Steve spends his time advising cable companies on technical design and vendor selection.
He also lends his expertise as one of TeleGeography's Preferred Partners.
The TeleGeography team might know them as Research Director Alan Mauldin and Vice President of Research Tim Stronge: colleagues, analysts, and submarine cable enthusiasts.
But an entire universe of SubOptic attendees know them as something entirely different: the Telecom Mythbusters.
Today the i3forum announced the expansion of its successful Insights tool, which will now offer an Insights Light tier.
This extended offering is designed for smaller voice teams who require occasional market tracking and insight, while the flagship Insights solution remains available to large voice teams who rely on such market intelligence for day-to-day business operations.
