In this episode, we're joined by Matteo Grandi, VP of Innovation at Neutroon [https://www.neutroon.com/platform], for a first-hand look at the motivations, vision, and expectations of a startup targeting the private 5G market. With Matteo, we discuss the state of the industry, the rationale behind Neutroon's move into private networking, and how the company views the challenges and opportunities of managing private 5G across multiple enterprise sites while addressing the growing need for network convergence. Our guest walks us through real deployments, key partnerships, roadblocks, and emerging opportunities that are shaping the future of scalable private networks in Europe and beyond.

In this episode, we dive into the opportunities and challenges of bringing transformative technologies to emerging markets. Our guest Carlos Perea, an Investor and Advisor in Tech, joins us to explore what it really takes to deliver impact where infrastructure, regulation, and access can be both barriers and catalysts for innovation. From leapfrogging legacy systems to navigating local ecosystems, we unpack real-world lessons, unexpected pitfalls, and what success looks like on the ground.

In this quick episode recorded in-between travels, I take a look at why Starlink is such a hot commodity right now—and what it could mean for telcos and the U.S. market.

In this episode, I am joined by Ildefonso De La Cruz, a fellow Analyst, Podcaster, and Leading Expert on Critical Comms at Omdia. Join us as we dive into the evolving world of the public safety communications market. From the long-standing role of narrowband networks to the transformative potential of broadband, we unpack how technology is reshaping mission-critical connectivity. We also explore the importance of network slicing—why it matters and what it means for the future of first responders and emergency services. Whether you're in public safety, telecom, or simply curious about the infrastructure that keeps communities connected in times of need, this conversation offers valuable insights into where the industry is headed.

In this episode, I am joined by Mika Skarp from Cumucore [https://cumucore.com/] to explore how private 5G networks are becoming an integral component in the journey toward fully autonomous, intelligent manufacturing. We start with the big picture—why industrial verticals matter and why autonomous operations are critical—then unpack the key technologies driving this next industrial leap, from 5G to Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN). We also dive into what these advances mean for factory floors and the broader ecosystem of technology providers and telecom operators

In this episode, I'm joined by Roberto Kompany [https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertokompany/?originalSubdomain=uk]—Telco Drift's  very first guest—to explore the transformative role of the 5G Standalone  (SA) core. We dive into how this technology enables telcos to evolve  beyond legacy models and tap into new use cases and market  opportunities. The conversation unpacks why the journey to 5G-SA has  been so long and winding, what lies ahead for the industry, why the core  network is so critical, and how telcos can maximize its potential.

In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of 5G in the railway industry. From enabling real-time data for autonomous trains to revolutionizing passenger connectivity and operational efficiency, 5G is set to redefine how rail systems operate. We explore: * Why now is the right time for 5G * The timeline for adoption * The emerging opportunity for telecom operators * Lessons learned from this market

In this episode of Private 5G Unplugged, we go beyond the buzzwords to explore real-world experiences from the frontlines of private 5G deployments. In just over 12 minutes, we highlight recent rollouts, unpack their relevance, and share the key lessons that enterprises and tech leaders should take away.

What can B2B players learn from smart cities' needs, challenges, and experiences?

What are recent telcos' results telling us about the B2B space? what is hot, tepid and cold? Is the whole world playing the same game?
