Abstract
This keynote explores how Generative AI and telco automation are revolutionizing the next generation of wireless networks—including 5G, 6G, Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), and Open RAN—by enabling the evolution of all-photonic infrastructures. These networks promise unprecedented speed, efficiency, and intelligence by integrating advanced sensing and communication capabilities. AI-driven orchestration enhances network adaptability and performance, while quantum cryptography ensures robust security in an increasingly complex threat landscape. Dr. Yamany will highlight how these technologies converge to create intelligent, secure, and scalable architectures, showcasing real-world applications and forward-looking innovations that are shaping the future of global connectivity."
