Were you at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this month? Our own Iain Thompson was, and he came away very impressed.
Iain was giving a talk about opportunities for quantum tech in the telecoms sector (the topic of one of our recent reports). And with a capacity crowd plus people waiting at the door to hear the latest updates on quantum and its use cases, it was a big success.
Iain says MWC was a perfect joining of all the forces in global telecom, with a clear focus on the future.
His main takeaways:
- Security by design: Most infrastructure has a security layer added later and then 'patched' many times. At MWC, the discussion was about building infrastructure that has security embedded
- Offensive security: Don't wait for it to happen, because it will
- There's no time to only focus only on AI, PQC, or quantum. They now need to be addressed all at the same time, as each one feeds and strengthens the others
Read our in-depth report into how the telecoms sector is embracing quantum technology.
