The Era of Agentic AI

In this 20-minute session recorded at the Telco AI Forum 2025, RCR Wireless News Executive Editor Kelly Hill hosts a conversation with Anil Kollipara, Vice President of Product Management at Spirent Communications, on how agentic AI is reshaping telecommunications.

The discussion begins with the broad opportunities AI brings to communications service providers (CSPs). On the external side, operators are leveraging their infrastructure, data centers, and expertise to offer AI-as-a-Service and sovereign AI solutions, particularly attractive to enterprises and governments concerned with data security. On the internal side, CSPs are applying AI to network operations, customer service, and billing—an addressable market projected at nearly $30 billion.
