MWC energy is building. In just a few days, we’re back in Barcelona, where connectivity, AI, policy, and enterprise transformation converge on one global stage.

I’ll be on the ground at #MWC26 tracking how intelligent infrastructure, AI-native networks, and real-world enterprise deployments are moving from ambition to execution.

If you’re attending, let’s connect. Barcelona is where the next cycle of tech leadership gets defined.

At MWC26, the conversation around Autonomous Networks shifted.

For years, automation in telecom has been framed as a technical milestone, closed loops, zero-touch workflows, AI optimization.

But what became clear in Barcelona is this:
Autonomy is no longer being discussed as an efficiency project.

It is being positioned as an economic strategy.
That distinction matters.

When intent-driven architectures map directly to KPIs…
When autonomy aligns with cost takeout, energy efficiency, and revenue models…
When intelligence moves directly into the RAN…
Automation stops being a feature set.
It becomes a control philosophy.

In my latest LinkedIn Newsletter, I break down:
• The KPI inflection point for Autonomous Networks
 • Why intent-driven domains change architectural priorities
 • How AI-RAN is reshaping decision cycles
 • And why measurable autonomy becomes investable autonomy

This isn’t about future aspiration.
It’s about execution inside the 5G Advanced cycle.

Autonomous Networks at MWC26: When Automation Becomes Economic Strategy

As enterprise AI adoption accelerates, the biggest question for tech leaders remains: how do we scale these deployments securely and drive consistent value?

In my latest Tech Ahead deep dive, I sat down with Herain Oberoi, VP of Security for Data & AI, at the Microsoft AI Tour in São Paulo to unpack exactly how organizations are navigating this generative AI platform shift. 

We cover the critical transition from initial experimentation to secure, enterprise-wide integration.

 I’ve uploaded our full breakdown over on YouTube. To make these insights accessible to our global community, full Spanish and Portuguese subtitles are now available! 
 (Just hit "CC" on the player).

Link to the full video is in the comments below. 📽️ 

The next phase of transformation will not be defined by who experiments the most, but by who scales AI the smartest.

Scaling AI isn't just a technical challenge, it’s a strategic one. To stay ahead of the curve and get more insights:
