In an exclusive interview with Telecom Review at the 18th edition of the Telecom Review Leaders’ Summit, Jérémie Mekaelian, Business Development Director at Sofrecom, discussed the innovative and sustainable solutions emerging within the telecom sector.
Focusing on agility, collaboration, and the integration of emerging technologies, Sofrecom is leading network infrastructure enhancement and fostering sustainable growth. Mekaelian also delved into how Sofrecom’s approach is tailored to meet the dynamic needs of telecom projects, improve energy efficiency, and drive innovation in IT and network development across diverse regions.
What makes Sofrecom’s agile and team-based approach effective in delivering telecom projects?
As you may know, Sofrecom is a consulting and engineering firm specializing in software solutions. At its core, Sofrecom embodies agility. Our teams, made up of multicultural and expert agile professionals, operate across the globe. Not only do they assist our clients in implementing agile methodologies, but they also support our business partners in adopting these practices, emphasizing incremental value creation through diverse skills and high technical expertise across various domains.
Additionally, it is crucial to focus intently on the needs and challenges of your clients. In fact, understanding their challenges is even more significant than simply addressing their needs. At Sofrecom, we prioritize this approach, leveraging innovation and technology to create meaningful value for our clients. This philosophy drives everything we do at Sofrecom.
How does Sofrecom work with clients to improve energy efficiency in network infrastructure while meeting the region's connectivity demands?
With the rising costs of energy and the environmental impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, infrastructure operators are facing the challenge of enhancing energy efficiency. Sofrecom supports them in this endeavor through software integration and consulting services across various regions of the world.
Starting with our consulting services, we begin with a comprehensive assessment of existing infrastructure. Whether it's the access network (fixed or mobile), core network, service platforms, or data centers, we offer an in-depth evaluation. Based on this assessment, we provide tailored recommendations that can guide decisions on vendor selection, hardware procurement, and the implementation of software features.
As a software integrator, we emphasize the integration of energy management systems. These systems enable clients to monitor and effectively reduce both costs and carbon dioxide emissions, making them a vital component of our offerings.
What emerging technologies or trends do you believe will have the most significant impact on IT and networks, and how is Sofrecom positioning itself to lead in these areas?
Indeed, AI is a critical topic in the telecom industry, and it continues to be a major focus here at the Telecom Review Leaders’ Summit. Artificial intelligence (AI) is undoubtedly one of the most significant emerging technologies shaping the future of telecom.
Alongside AI, 5G plays a pivotal role. While 5G coverage is expanding, it remains uneven, even in advanced countries. However, with its impressive capabilities in bandwidth and low latency, 5G is poised to revolutionize connectivity in the coming years. Additionally, mobile private networks are gaining momentum as companies—not just operators—have the opportunity to build and manage networks, provided they have the necessary spectrum rights.
We also can’t overlook the impact of Internet of Things (IoT), which is rapidly transforming industries and creating new use cases across sectors.
To support these advancements, Sofrecom plays a vital role within the innovation division. Our consultants collaborate closely with clients, leveraging the expertise and technological resources from our parent company’s diverse skill centers to deliver cutting-edge solutions tailored to the evolving telecom landscape.
