AI in Communication

In March 2025, the Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC) released a seminal report titled “Opportunities for Artificial Intelligence in Communication Networks”. The study represents a foundational document exploring the expanding role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in transforming communication infrastructures, with a clear focus on satellite communication, optical switching and networking, generative AI use cases and real-world implementations in telecom operations. By highlighting state-of-the-art techniques, implementation strategies and practical challenges, the TEC report provides a vital reference point for policymakers, industry leaders and researchers seeking to understand and apply AI in the telecommunications domain.
