Key Topics

  • Energy Efficiency, Cognitive Architectures, Network as a Sensor, Post-Quantum Security, New Spectrum Technologies – what to expect from 6G and how to get there.

  • Usage-Aware Architectures, 5G Standalone, Fibre replacing Copper – which ideas will help to not only reduce Watts per Mbps but the energy consumption of communication networks overall?

  • From dynamically assigning infrastructure resources to coping with a shrinking workforce – which challenges can AI help to master?

  • Fiber is the future of communications. But deploying and marketing it have challenges of their own. How can acceptance rates be improved, what can the industry do better? How can the roll-out be incentivised? How to deal with a volatile political environment.

  • OpenRAN and cloud-based architectures made their debut in German communications networks. What are the learnings after around a year of operation?

  • Operators and Service Providers, Roaming and ongoing network expansion. On the other hand, confusing rates and payment debates – the current state of E-Mobility resembles the early years of mobile communications a lot. So what can charging networks learn from the communication industry?

In 2025, connect magazine once again hosts one of the most important industry gatherings for its 10th anniversary covering mobile and fixed communication networks and newly also e-mobility. What can key players learn from their peers – in their own as well as from neighboring industries?
