In an exclusive interview with Telecom Review during the 18th edition of the Telecom Review Leaders’ Summit, Samer Mehaidly, Vice President of Business Development at Telcovas Solutions, discussed how the company is delivering cutting-edge solutions to empower its customers.
How is Telcovas putting customer innovation and centricity at the core of its business strategy?
Telcovas puts its customers at the center through extensive customization. Most of our products and services are 60% generic, and the other 40% is based on specific customer needs. We consult with the customer regarding the required customizations and changes needed before full deployment. We gather a lot of data to tailor our solutions to what the telecom industry and our MNOs require.
How do you think telcos will continue moving forward without substantial 5G revenue? How will Telcovas continue to support them in this journey?
Currently, there is a lot of hype in the telecom industry, with MNOs struggling to monetize 5G investments and not achieving the desired revenue.
We have also made a lot of investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G to assist our customers and MNOs with monetization. We came up with a lot of use cases for private networks, helping MNOs in the network slicing across different verticals, which has demonstrated positive revenue returns. Currently, 5G is directed towards the enterprise and vertical markets, which we are tapping into to help our clients across Africa and the Middle East monetize their investments.
Can you elaborate on the regional challenges the telecom industry is facing going into 2025? How will Telcovas contribute to overcoming such challenges?
There are a lot of challenges going on, including those associated with cutting costs, increasing revenue, utilizing spectrum, and appreciating investments. We are investing in and tailoring our 5G private networks, IT and Internet of Things (IoT) products, roaming and AI solutions.
We are developing a five-year strategy to counteract these challenges and we are helping operators make more money by optimizing their operational costs and processes to get the most out of our products.
