Challenge focus 2025: AI at the heart of telecom
This year's focus is on how artificial intelligence can help transform telecommunications networks and improve the customer experience for the long term.
Among other things, this involves using AI in network technology, for example to enable network management through autonomous processes, improve end-to-end service quality, or optimize network monitoring. In the area of data-driven AI, the goal is also to automate and efficiently manage large network data sets and the use of metadata. Resilience gets its due as well, especially improving network security with the help of AI.
With the submission phase complete, T Challenge 2025 has entered an exciting new phase.
