At this point in the 21st century, it is clear that the greatest technological advances aimed directly at the population are taking place in the telecommunications environment.. It is a sector that is constantly evolving and offering its users a better experience every day.

The companies providing these services maintain a fierce competition among themselves to remain at the head of any comparison of optical and mobile networks, websites that represent a tool of great value to reach the largest possible audience thanks to the trust residents place in them. Investments in the development of new ideas and infrastructure are a constant requirement for industry leadership.

Trends follow one another, year after year, quickly when we talk about technology and communication. Recently, there has been an explosion in cloud telecommunications that has forced companies to migrate their communication infrastructures to an online environment. This has transformed the way clients and prospects interact with the company, both internally and externally. However, this is becoming a thing of the past and, looking to the future, new trends are emerging that we must be very attentive to and understand that companies are beginning to adapt to their production, management and administrative systems.

These are some of the trends that are already starting to become a reality in the telecommunications industry in the short and medium term.

5G and 6G

5G is being implemented at a good pace, achieving dizzying transfer speeds and greatly reducing the possible latency that a network can suffer.. It has also achieved migration to more robust and powerful tools in the business environment with omnichannel communication solutions.

This instant communications enhancement is ideal for telephone, Internet and television entertainment service providers, will get a new boost with a 6G look, which is a natural trend given the benefits of its predecessor. It is estimated to be useful in Spain around 2028 after being tested in China, Japan and the United States.

Blockchain

Today, it is considered to be of great importance to the economy of the communication environmentnot for nothing it is estimated to generate more than 20,000 million euros of national GDP by 2023. The tool is a solution to complex algorithms for verifying various transactions it is of great value for fraud prevention, authentication and user security control and provide support for next-generation network services as well as efficient solutions for IoT connectivity. In short, in the years to come, as it grows stronger, Blockchain will play a fundamental role in the telecommunications industry.

Metaverse

The latest creation of Mark Zuckerberg, i.e. a virtual world without limits, completely immersive and where all types of people and elements are expected to interact with each other, in addition to the possibility of experiencing new feelings and business, is presented as another of well fertilized fields for the development and growth of the telecommunications industry. In order to take advantage of this world, they must have 5G and later 6G networks around the world to make this promised virtual world accessible in retail. Some telecommunications companies, for example Orange, already offer their services in Metaverse with their own store.

Smart contracts

Smart contracts follow the trail set by the blockchain because even these they are digitized and require protection at height. Blockchains make it possible to create agreements that are executed automatically, that is, pacts and/or agreements will be made and signed without anyone having to authorize them. It will only be necessary to increase the number of experts capable of drawing up these contracts in accordance with the law and in accordance with the legal language adapted to informatics, with an appropriate level of security and encryption. In this way, telecommunications companies will significantly improve the efficiency of their relations with their customers..

IoT (Internet of Things)

Another of the tools that require the expansion and distribution of 5G and 6G networks for optimal functioning are systems connecting devices with people and with the Internet environment. IoT, in addition to serving as a communication tool for home automation, is capable of automating, managing and controlling energy, security… It is easy to understand that in 2024, telecommunications companies will strengthen their relationship with these systems, which will bring benefits, among other things, in relation to the cost of energy consumption..

Other technological tools that will provide huge benefits for the advancement of the telecom sector will be Generative Artificial Intelligence, Edge Computing, Cloud Development, Security, Data Privacy and Sustainability.
