Evolution of TIP: Convergence and Focus
TIP leaders Kristian Toivo and Rob Soni opened the annual FYUZ event with updates on recent progress and a widened focus.
At the TIP FYUZ 2025 event in Dublin, Telecom Infra Project (TIP) leaders discussed the association's expansion beyond its wireless open RAN origins. This shift is driven by the industry's move towards converged networks, where mobile is part of a broader connectivity effort.
“I think the simple thing is as we move towards convergence, subscribers increasingly are looking for that kind of experience.”
- TIP chair Rob Soni noted that many operators are no longer investing solely in mobile networks.
- Interest in set-ups including Wi-Fi is higher today than in the past.
- Soni believes the change in focus is due to the increasing importance of converged networks.
