WBBA: AI, Net5.5G pivotal to achieving next-generation broadband networks | Computer Weekly
Briefly

Artificial intelligence (AI) is pivotal in optimizing broadband infrastructure in its pre-deployment phases. Research from the World Broadband Association (WBBA) emphasizes that if leveraged correctly, AI can significantly improve decision-making in network planning, helping operators deploy infrastructure in optimal locations, technologies, and ROI scenarios. Additionally, the WBBA's Gigacity index 2025 ranks global cities based on their broadband sophistication, reinforcing the importance of AI in establishing effective broadband networks necessary for business growth and advanced internet services.
The pre-deployment phases in broadband are periods of decision-making and network planning before infrastructure is rolled out or upgraded. It's an ideal environment for AI to make an impact.
AI's models can be used to help operators predict the return on their investments much more accurately, ensuring infrastructure is rolled out at the right locations.
