Connecting the dots: home network visibility can put ISPs in the picture
Pages
2
Released
JULY 2020

With consumers buying connected entertainment and smart home devices off-the-shelf and adding them to their home networks themselves, ISPs and consumers alike are facing a number of challenges. Not knowing what is connected to home networks, customer-support centres at ISPs must blindly deal with calls on performance issues. Meanwhile, the lack of security in many devices can expose both the customer's home network and the ISP’s network to cyberattacks. Home network security and internet management solutions can help ISPs better understand their customers' home profiles, tackle customer-support costs and secure their networks. Ultimately, they can help achieve operational costs savings and, by creating a reliable user experience, enable service differentiation and incremental revenue.

Topic
Fixed broadband and fixed wireless access (FWA)

This edition of the Industry Checkpoint series focuses on fixed broadband and FWA, highlighting how the market has changed in the last six months and its implications. The report considers four major developments: operators starting to bundle AI with fixed broadband services; a new wave of services and innovation emerging in 5G FWA; mobile evolving from an add-on service to a strategic priority among major US cable operators; and new contract schemes emerging in some developed markets, offering customers long-term fixed pricing.

IoT in a post-quantum world: coming sooner than you think

Topics
Security
Internet of things (IoT)

The benefits of quantum computing come from the order-of-magnitude increase in computational power compared to conventional computers. This enables a range of use cases from predictive analytics to pharmaceutical simulations. However, there are also risks, primarily related to security vulnerabilities. Overall, we estimate around 8% of IoT devices currently in active use are quantum safe. Conversely, over 90% (i.e. nearly all) of IoT devices are exposed. The exposure risk for telcos comes at multiple levels, including networks, billing systems, consumer devices and IoT. The focus in this report is on the IoT dimension because it represents the largest universe of devices, is highly disparate and is particularly open to security risks due to the ageing nature of many assets deployed today.
