The AI networking opportunity is entering its next phase. While hyperscalers drove the first wave of AI infrastructure investment, the rapid growth of AI applications and inferencing is expanding connectivity demands across enterprises, neocloud/cloud providers, and AI data centers. This shift is positioning communications service providers (CSPs) at the center of the next phase of AI networking.
In this webinar, explore how AI demand is driving new connectivity requirements across edge, metro, and long-haul networks—from high-capacity wavelength services and dedicated AI connectivity to flexible, on-demand service offerings.
Join experts from NTT, Omdia, and Ciena as they share exclusive insights from a global survey of service providers on the evolving connectivity requirements to support the next wave of AI-driven traffic growth. Discover where demand is emerging, what services customers will require, and how to optimize your network strategy to capture the AI connectivity opportunity.
