VP, Global Telco Business Unit

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Mr. Adolfo Hernandez, VP of Global Telco Business Unit at Amazon Web Services, shared insighthow AWS sees innovation through the eyes of cloudification, not in isolation but through the lens of telecoms. He explained its journey from an IT centric company to a telecoms player started as early as 2019, when it did some telecoms specific work.

Bringing complexity down for setting up a smart home, for example, is made possible by exposing AWS APIs and working with developers in real time. Hernandez suggests telcos tend to think private wireless networks comes in one size. “They don’t. We believe you need a variety of solutions. Every customer will need something different. Every operator will have different capabilities and different appetite to do things differently.”
