As economies across the Asia Pacific digitize at record speed, the need for robust, secure, and future-ready internet infrastructure has never been more urgent. Two major players are emerging in the battle to provide the backbone for this digital future: satellites orbiting above and subsea cables stretching beneath the ocean floor.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation have profoundly transformed India's telecommunications sector, enhancing network efficiency, customer experience (CX), and operational agility.
As Asia embraces a digital-first future, the forces shaping its connectivity infrastructure are evolving in tandem. While the spotlight often shines on emerging technologies like 5G, edge computing, and satellite broadband, the foundations enabling this next wave of connectivity are being quietly redrawn through smarter regulations and more diverse vendor ecosystems.
From revolutionizing connectivity for travelers to driving sustainability and simplifying mobile network access, eSIM (embedded Subscriber Identity Module) is reshaping how users experience mobile communication.
Deepfakes emerged from the development of deep learning techniques, particularly generative adversarial networks (GANs), in the mid-2010s. Originally, the technology was used for harmless entertainment, such as replacing actors in film scenes. But over time, deepfakes have begun to pose real threats—from spreading political propaganda and scamming businesses to violating personal privacy.
Japan, Indonesia, and Singapore are experiencing a transformative surge in artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, necessitating robust infrastructure to support this growth.
In the shadowy realm where cloud servers hum and algorithms rule, tech giants have long sparred with national tax authorities; now, a reckoning is underway. From the boulevards of Paris to the corridors of Westminster, governments are erecting fiscal guardrails to ensure Silicon Valley, and its digital offspring worldwide, pays its dues.
As businesses increasingly adopt cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the demand for low-latency networks has surged. These networks, which ensure minimal delay in data transmission, are becoming essential for powering real-time applications and supporting the region’s growing digital infrastructure.
The pursuit for gender equity has been a longstanding global challenge, marked by both progress and persistent obstacles.
