How forward-thinking CSPs are leveraging open-source cloud-native infrastructure to break vendor lock-in, deliver sovereign enterprise services, and capture true 5G ROI.

As Communication Service Providers (CSPs) look beyond consumer connectivity, the real return on investment for 5G lies in the enterprise market. From private mobile networks to managed edge computing and hybrid access (mobile, fixed, and broadband), enterprises require high-performance, low-latency, and deterministic digital services.

However, CSPs face a dual challenge: they must modernize their own legacy networks while delivering sovereign, secure, and interoperable environments for enterprise clients who refuse to be trapped in vendor or hyperscaler lock-in. Furthermore, with Edge AI and localized processing becoming essential for enterprise operations, data sovereignty and regulatory compliance are top priorities.

Join Richard Card, Head of Telco Alliances at SUSE, for a strategic exploration into the evolution of the Telco Cloud. This session breaks down how CSPs can transition from pure connectivity providers into sovereign digital infrastructure platforms—enabling flexible, enterprise-grade B2B services across edge, core, and cloud environments.
