Fabiana Victoria Iovino (ETNO) & Birte Dedden (Uni Europa ICTS) present the main outcomes of the research report in the framework of our joint EU-funded project on ‘Accelerating Sustainability in Telecoms’, launched in April 2024.
This innovative report identifies eleven key emerging technologies that are expected to have an impact on social and environmental sustainability in the telecommunication industry. Among the analysed technologies are e.g. Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Analytics, Edge Computing, Internet of Things, Optic Fibre and GPON, Quantum Technologies, cybersecurity, extended reality, and xRAN. The report underlines both opportunities and challenges stemming from the deployment of such new technologies, with a focus on their impact on sustainability and on skills and the labour market.
