How GenAI Transforms Mobile Messaging

Mobile communications applications continue to evolve in response to new technology use cases. Telecom service providers and software vendors are now exploring applications for Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities.

Generative AI (GenAI) is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content, such as text, images, audio, and video assets.

Applications of GenAI within the communications sector include generating personalized messages for each customer, chatbots that can answer customer queries, and creating targeted marketing campaigns to generate leads and sales for brands and enterprises.

Telecom GenAI Market Development

According to the latest worldwide market study by Juniper Research, enterprise spending on GenAI over mobile messaging channels will grow by 1,250 percent over the next four years -- that's from $830 million in 2024.

Juniper predicts that the ability to automate the personalization of content, including marketing efforts and customer interactions over chatbots, will be the key driver of GenAI for this substantial future growth.

Generative AI, when applied to mobile messaging, can create valuable new features, including summarising conversations, powering chatbots, and generating hyper-personalized content for mobile marketing campaigns.

To maximize the impact of GenAI on omnichannel strategies, Juniper's analyst urges messaging vendors to apply the technology across all rich media messaging channels, including chatbots and Rich Communications Services (RCS).

Furthermore, mobile omnichannel strategies will benefit from the unification of customer experiences over different communication channels and digital media.

The Juniper analyst believes that Apple’s announced support for RCS via iOS devices this year will drive the global number of active RCS users to 2.9 billion by 2028.

Meanwhile, over 40 percent of GenAI investment in mobile messaging will be attributable to RCS by 2028, owing to its media-rich nature and ability to be included in native messaging applications.

"Implementing generative AI into omnichannel strategies will provide enterprises with a route to secure a return on investment," said Molly Gatford, research analyst at Juniper Research.

Outlook for Mobile Messaging GenAI Apps Growth

According to the Juniper assessment, creating personalized marketing campaigns via GenAI will enable mobile messaging to become viable sales channels -- thereby competing more effectively with established online apps and brick-and-mortar retail stores for revenue.

That said, I believe GenAI-enhanced mobile messaging apps will be beneficial to both enterprises and their customers, by reducing the workload for human agents and improving the online experience.

Various industries that will use GenAI as part of their communication strategy include retail and eCommerce, banking and insurance, healthcare and life sciences, plus transportation and travel services.

How WLAN Transforms Industrial Automation

The industrial sector is on the eve of a wireless transformation, driven by an urgent demand for greater network capacity, reliability, and deterministic performance. Historically, manufacturers and mission-critical operations have relied on wired networks — favoring their predictability — because spectrum congestion in legacy 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands limited confidence in wireless for operational technology (OT) environments. However, with the introduction and rapid adoption of the 6GHz spectrum, compounded by significant advances in Wi-Fi standards, industrial facilities are now poised to embrace wireless LANs as the backbone for automation and digital innovation. Industrial WLAN Market Development Recent research from ABI Research forecasts that over 70 percent of industrial-grade wireless LAN access points (WLAN APs) shipped in 2030 will support the 6GHz band. This is a leap from 2 percent in 2023, highlighting a rapid and profound technological shift. The market for ruggedized indust...
