Significant investment in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications will also occur as operators seek to secure future revenue growth.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>MVNO-in-a-box<\/strong> provides digital brands with the opportunity to increase customer loyalty through 5G mobile contracts.

Travel agents and network operators will team-up to offer new roaming options to travellers. This could create a huge cost saving opportunity for operators. eSIMs eliminate the impact of high tariffs in visited networks and the cost of currency conversion in transactions. eSIMs are also easy to obtain, as they are downloaded, increasing the likelihood of consumer uptake. <span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Low Earth Orbit (LEO) communication<\/strong> is the other hot topic of 2025 and where we may see considerable monetary investment. Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX subsidiary, Starlink, will face increasing competition from Amazon, Chinese operators, Europe\u2019s IRIS<sup>2<\/sup> and others in the LEO satellite communications realm.\n<p>The Direct to Smartphone market of LEO satellite communication will probably have slow market growth due to market entry barriers like existing terrestrial infrastructure and significant investment costs. However, the technology is already in use, there are few competitors, and the market will undoubtedly be huge in the future. So, operators will likely make big investments in 2025 to secure their future market positions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Hot or not in 2025?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holographic communication technology has gained ground in recent years. Holograms are fun and have wowed crowds at music concerts. Thought leaders suggest they will radically change how we communicate, but will holographic communication breakthrough in a commercial sense in 2025?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probably not as there are significant barriers to market entry, Like LEO communications, existing communications technology, such as VR headsets, will prevent holograms from capturing market share. What is more, VR headsets don\u2019t display your phone call to the public. So, it\u2019s a technology you that can be more easily used than holograms.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/How-can-the-telecoms-industry-save-hologram-banner-image.png\" alt=\"hologram\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Additionally, consumers are already facing higher mobile bills if they want 5G. Paying for holographic add-ons, which require 5G, is probably a step too far.<\/p>\n<p>Arguably, it could be suitable for singular organisational applications, such as in medical situations or gaming exhibitions. However, due to uncertain political and economic conditions, this is unlikely to scale up in 2025 as it\u2019ll be a nice-to-have rather than a strategic necessity.<\/p>\n<p>SMS has had a rough time over the last few years. Will it finally be overtaken by Rich Communication Services (RCS)? <\/p>\n<p>Despite growth in SMS fraud, RCS will probably struggle to expand its footprint in 2025. Recent developments with AI mean that a lot of SMS fraud can now be detected quicker. As a result, operators may see a rise in the efficiency of SMS that negates any need for RCS. Additionally, like with holographic communications, RCS is an expensive nice-to-have for operators rather than a strategic necessity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

Travel agents and network operators will team-up to offer new roaming options to travellers. This could create a huge cost saving opportunity for operators. eSIMs eliminate the impact of high tariffs in visited networks and the cost of currency conversion in transactions. eSIMs are also easy to obtain, as they are downloaded, increasing the likelihood of consumer uptake. <span><\\\/span><\\\/li>\\n<\\\/ul>\\n\n\n<p style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\"><\\\/p>\\n\n\n<ul>\\n\n\n<li><strong>Low Earth Orbit (LEO) communication<\\\/strong> is the other hot topic of 2025 and where we may see considerable monetary investment.
