Connected to the future: How ALTEN is actively shaping the telecommunications industry
The telecommunications industry is undergoing profound change. New technologies such as 5G, cloud-native networks, and virtualized infrastructures are driving digitalization forward at a rapid pace. They are not only changing existing systems, but also the expectations placed on companies and their employees.
With increasing demands on network security, high investments, and growing pressure to innovate, strong, agile partners are needed. At the same time, trends such as IoT, edge computing, and AI-supported network management are opening enormous potential for new business models, intelligent services, and sustainable growth.
This is exactly where our consultants come in. With technical expertise and practical advice, they work with leading companies to design the networks of tomorrow: innovative, efficient, and future proof.
Insights into the transformation of the industry
Last month, we interviewed two of our colleagues who provided exciting perspectives on current developments in the telecommunications industry.
Désirée Branston, Manager Competence Center, explained the advantages of the strategic merger between ALTEN GmbH and iconec GmbH in 2025. The merger allows us to pool our expertise and now offer our customers even more comprehensive solutions from a single source:
“The merger enables us to expand our portfolio and win new customers. Our consultants play a key role in positioning ALTEN as a strong partner in the market.”

Sven Becker, Experienced Consultant, spoke about the major changes, opportunities, and challenges in the telecommunications industry and gave us a personal insight into his projects at ALTEN:
“By the end of the decade, fiber optic expansion (FTTH) will be well advanced. Only a few rural areas will still be missing. The 5G rollout should be complete, and 6G will be in preparation. I also think the market will consolidate, and we will then see a very different picture of providers than we do today.”

Sustainability as a key success factor
The telecommunications industry bears responsibility for sustainable digitalization. Energy-efficient networks, resource-saving infrastructures, and the use of renewable energies are important building levers for making growing data traffic environmentally friendly.
For ALTEN, sustainability means not only reducing CO₂ emissions, but also developing sustainable business models that combine ecological, economic, and social aspects. In this way, we are working together to strengthen competitiveness and make an active contribution to a connected, responsible society.
