Avasant recognises Telefónica as an 'Innovator' in its Advanced Network Services 2026 RadarView

Avasant has positioned Telefónica in the 'Innovator' category in its Advanced Network Services 2026 report, a recognition that highlights the maturity and forward-looking vision of its proposition in a market focused on network autonomy and the optimisation of enterprise infrastructure.

Avasant highlights the company's solid positioning in the cloud and cybersecurity environments thanks to solutions such as flexWAN, which unifies connectivity and Fortinet's advanced protection to seamlessly connect remote branches without the need for hardware investment, the evolution of its managed SASE services under the Zero Trust security model for hybrid environments, and the Telefónica Global Solutions Cloud Connect platform, which simplifies flexible connectivity with on-demand bandwidth across multiple cloud environments.

In terms of innovation, the document highly values strategic partnerships to develop disruptive solutions and the operator's technical capability to drive industrial digitisation through the automated and remote management of SIM and eSIM cards via its Kite platform for IoT environments, the deployment of edge nodes to deliver ultra-low latency, and the creation of specialised network operations centres (NOCs) to continuously monitor and optimise private 4G and 5G mobile networks in critical industrial and logistics sectors within its core markets.
