twimbit Asia Pacific Telecom Summit 2022 – Welcome Address

Summary

Telecom operators across Asia Pacific closed 2021 with their strongest revenue growth in five years, alongside broad EBITDA improvement, setting the stage for the welcome address at the second Asia Pacific Telecom Summit held in partnership with F5 Networks and Kyndryl. The session brings together perspectives from F5's regional sales leadership, Kyndryl's ASEAN managing director, and Twimbit's founder to frame the strategic pressures reshaping telecom infrastructure investment.

Surging digital services demand, with average per-user data consumption roughly doubling since before the pandemic, is forcing operators to modernize networks through software-defined architectures and open-source technology while keeping cost-to-serve under control. A dedicated look at Rakuten's greenfield network build illustrates how a new entrant without legacy infrastructure achieved an end-to-end cloud-native 5G network, offering lessons for established operators pursuing similar transformation.

Edge computing stands out as one of the most significant growth opportunities ahead for telcos, driven by IoT adoption and demand for low-latency, real-time processing, alongside operators like Softbank exploring how to monetize 5G and edge infrastructure beyond traditional connectivity services.
