Intersec in the press: Telecompaper - What are telcos betting on?

In light of recent telecommunications industry developments, particularly the advent of 5G technology, there's a pressing need to explore innovative avenues for revenue generation. At Intersec, we conducted a comprehensive poll within the telco sector to uncover key strategies for maximizing data monetization opportunities.

The results, published in Telecompaper, revealed four distinct groups of use cases poised to revolutionize the landscape of telecom data monetization. This article serves as an insightful exploration of these four data monetization strategies, shedding light on their potential to drive revenue growth and shape the future of the telecommunications industry. 

Internal data monetization is a start but won’t be enough to offset the high cost of deploying 5G

It is not surprising that internal data monetization tops the list of the list, with nearly a third of respondents choosing it as the best opportunity. This well-established set of use cases focuses on collecting customer and network data to personalize services and upsell or cross-sell additional services. This article looks at this use case in depth.

Beyond connectivity: IoT can lead to new (and substantial) revenue for telcos

In this third article, we explore the potential of IoT for telecommunications revenue. The global 5G IoT market is predicted to grow substantially, reaching $61.7 billion by 2032. Enabled by 5G and AI, telcos can generate new revenue streams by targeting enterprises in various sectors, offering geolocation-enabled IoT solutions for asset monitoring, predictive maintenance, and process optimization, to only name a few.

Managing privacy, security, and risk is a sweet spot for CSPs

In our fourth and final article of the series, we explore how CSPs can leverage data for services focusing on security and risk management.

Telcos possess a distinctive advantage in delivering such services, as their authority over network infrastructure enables real-time monitoring and detection of security threats. Moreover, being subject to regulations such as the EU’s GDPR, they must adhere to rigorous data governance and security practices. This regulatory compliance positions them as reliable partners for managing sensitive data, in an opportunity for revenue growth that can go from 10% to 25% year-on-year according to TM Forum’s benchmark report.
