TeleGeography Explains the Internet

On this episode of TeleGeography Explains the Internet, Rohit Jha, co-founder of Transcelestial, explains how his company is using laser links to bring fiber-like speeds to places where digging trenches isn’t practical, from storm-damaged Taiwanese villages to chronic outage sites in the U.S.

Greg Bryan sits down with Dennis Thankachan, CEO and Co-Founder of Lightyear, to explore how agentic AI is transforming the notoriously painful processes of telecom sourcing, provisioning, and lifecycle management.

The show welcomes Carlie Carson, Research Analyst on the enterprise team at TeleGeography. Carlie and Greg discuss the shifting underlay landscape as MPLS usage drops and DIA takes center stage, why enterprises choose DIA over business broadband, and the real impact (or lack thereof) that AI is having on current enterprise bandwidth demands.

A trio of TeleGeography experts close out our series on the impacts of AI on global telecom. Host Greg Bryan sits down with Alan Mauldin, Patrick Christian, and Jon Hjembo to tie together the network, cloud, and data center layers of this infrastructure puzzle.

The TeleGeography Explains the Internet podcast welcomes Jezzibell Gilmore, General Manager, Service Provider at Kentik. She discusses the profound impact of artificial intelligence on global network infrastructure, and how networks are evolving to handle new technological demands.
