MWC 2026: AI-Native Networks and Infrastructure Convergence

Matthew Eastwood — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 05:00:00 GMT

At Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, the industry highlighted a new phase in the evolution of digital infrastructure centered on AI-native networks, distributed edge computing, and the convergence of connectivity and cloud platforms. Vendor and operator announcements showcased AI-enabled radio access networks, telco AI cloud initiatives, 5G-Advanced deployments, early 6G ecosystem collaboration, expanded network APIs, and satellite-terrestrial integration. IDC notes that these developments reflect a broader structural shift: telecommunications networks are evolving from connectivity platforms into distributed compute fabrics capable of supporting real-time AI inference and automation across broad application and data continuums. As AI adoption accelerates, the boundaries between telecom and datacenter infrastructure are increasingly blurring, reshaping how organizations design and deploy AI-enabled digital infrastructure.

Entrust Advances Full-Stack PQC Readiness with Cryptographic Security Platform Expansion

Heather West, PhD — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Note examines Entrust's February 2026 Analyst Forum announcements related to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and cryptographic modernization. It explores the evolution of the company's Cryptographic Security Platform and its integration of hardware security modules, PKI, certificate life-cycle management, discovery, and compliance governance to support enterprise quantum preparedness. The document also places these developments in the context of growing enterprise urgency around crypto-agility, regulatory pressure, shorter certificate life cycles, and long-term quantum risk planning. As organizations shift from quantum awareness to structured migration strategies, platform-based approaches to cryptographic governance are emerging as a key area of market focus.

U.S. Printer and MFP Page Volume Forecast, 2026-2029

Geoffrey Wilbur — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 05:00:00 GMT

This IDC presentation provides the forecast for the U.S. printer and MFP page volume market. It provides an in-depth look at the U.S. installed base and page volume forecasts for the inkjet and laser MFP segments. The installed base, average monthly page volumes, and total annual page volumes are forecast for 2026–2029. This presentation includes both office and production pages.

"Page volume resumed its steady, low-single-digit decline in 2025 as the adoption of paperless processes continues to exert downward pressure on print volume. Still, printing remains a critical part of the work process, and the combined printer/MFP market remains massive as it is still expected to generate nearly 900 billion pages of output annually in the United States by 2029." — Geoffrey Wilbur, research manager, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions, IDC
