Telstra Digital Infrastructure

Not every legacy system needs replacing. But knowing when to upgrade, modernise or invest is becoming increasingly critical. As demand for data continues to accelerate, infrastructure owners and operators face a constant balancing act: maximising the value of existing assets while ensuring networks remain capable of supporting future growth. At Submarine Networks World 2026, Stacie Pascale, Head of Infrastructure Development, Telstra Digital Infrastructure, will share perspectives on one of the industry's most practical challenges: how organisations determine when infrastructure should be upgraded, modernised or replaced.  As demand for connectivity continues to grow, infrastructure owners face increasingly complex decisions around modernisation, investment and long-term network strategy. This discussion will explore how organisations are navigating those trade-offs while keeping pace with future requirements.

That’s a wrap for Telstra Digital Infrastructure Business Connect 26! Today we brought together customers, partners and industry leaders to explore how we can Accelerate Ingenuity and unlock Australia's opportunities in the AI era.🤖 A standout session came from Lucinda Longcroft from Tech Council of Australia, who highlighted a critical truth: the future of AI isn't just about technology. It's about building the skills, confidence and capability for people to effectively orchestrate AI and turn intelligent tools into meaningful outcomes. Across the day, that theme was reflected in discussions on AI, digital infrastructure, resilience and connectivity.🌐 Thank you to all our speakers for sharing their expertise, and to our sponsors Ciena and Prysmian, and our valued customers for joining us for a day of learning, collaboration and connection. 🚀Because accelerating ingenuity isn't just about adopting new technology. It's about equipping people with the tools, skills and infrastructure they need to create what's next. #BusinessConnect26 #AccelerateIngenuity #AI #DigitalInfrastructure #Innovation #FutureOfWork #Telstra 

The Telstra Digital Infrastructure Executive panel at Business Connect 26 discussed the trends shaping Australia’s digital future, and how Telstra’s investments in digital infrastructure are helping create the foundations for innovation at scale.🏗️ 🚀One theme has consistently emerged throughout the day: accelerating ingenuity requires more than technology alone. It takes the right infrastructure, strong partnerships🤝and a shared commitment to innovation. #BusinessConnect26 #AccelerateIngenuity #DigitalInfrastructure #Connectivity #Innovation #Leadership #Partnerships #Telstra 

At Telstra Digital Infrastructure Business Connect 26, Kate Pounder explored how Australia can capture the enormous opportunity presented by AI, highlighting the potential for productivity gains, new industries and investment in the digital infrastructure that will underpin future growth. 🎯 🔑A key message was that success will depend on more than technology alone. Building AI literacy, supporting workforce transition, establishing trust and social licence, and addressing emerging questions around AI sovereignty will all be critical to unlocking AI's full potential.  These themes were reinforced by Telstra CEO Vicki Brady, who highlighted that none of this will be possible without resilient, secure🔒and trusted digital infrastructure. As AI adoption accelerates, Australia's ability to compete, innovate and grow will increasingly depend on the networks and infrastructure that underpin our digital economy. #BusinessConnect26 #AccelerateIngenuity #AI #DigitalInfrastructure #Innovation #AustralianInnovation #Telstra

We're excited to spend today listening, learning and collaborating with our customers as we explore what's possible when ingenuity meets infrastructure.  #BusinessConnect26 #AccelerateIngenuity #DigitalInfrastructure #AI #Telstra 

Resilience is no longer about planning for a single cable fault. As subsea networks become increasingly critical to cloud connectivity, digital services and AI applications, operators need to be prepared for more complex and simultaneous disruptions. At Submarine Networks World 2026, @Andrew Hankins, Head of Engineering, Telstra Digital Infrastructure, will present "Building a Multi-Path Subsea Architecture", exploring why resilience must evolve beyond redundancy and how operators can design networks that continue to perform when multiple failures occur. Join Andrew as he shares practical perspectives on network diversity, restoration strategies and resilience-by-design for the next generation of global connectivity. 📍 Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore 📅 24 September 2026 🕑 2:00 PM – 2:20 PM #SNW2026 #SubmarineNetworksWorld #SubseaCables #NetworkResilience #DigitalInfrastructure #Connectivity #TelstraDigitalInfrastructure #Telstra

How can countries strengthen digital sovereignty without compromising the global connectivity that underpins today's digital economy? As governments, regulators and industry leaders seek greater control over critical digital infrastructure, a key challenge remains: balancing sovereignty objectives with the realities of an interconnected world. At Submarine Networks World 2026, Emily Kiernan will join industry, policy and government leaders to discuss one of the most important questions facing the sector today: how to build trusted digital ecosystems while continuing to enable the flow of data, investment and connectivity across borders. If you're attending SNW, join the conversation and hear perspectives on the opportunities, trade-offs and implications for the future of digital infrastructure. 📍 Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore 📅 24 September 2026 🕑 9:15 AM – 10:00 AM #SNW2026 #SubmarineNetworksWorld #DataSovereignty #DigitalInfrastructure #GlobalConnectivity #TelstraDigitalInfrastructure #Telstra

Everyone is talking about AI. The organisations pulling ahead are the ones generating measurable outcomes from it. At FutureNet World Asia 2026, Telstra Digital Infrastructure's Gaya Byrne will join a distinguished panel of industry leaders to explore how AI is creating value today, from customer care and network operations to sales and automation. The discussion will tackle the questions many organisations are facing right now:  • Which AI use cases are delivering real business results?  • What is preventing AI from scaling across the enterprise?  • How do organisations move from pilots and proofs of concept to production at scale?  • What role does infrastructure, data and ecosystem collaboration play in unlocking AI's full potential? As AI adoption accelerates, the competitive advantage will belong to organisations that can transform AI ambition into business outcomes. Join us at FutureNet Asia to hear practical insights from leaders at the forefront of that journey. 📍 Marina Bay Sands, Singapore  📅 22 September 2026 | 2:20 PM – 2:50 PM #FutureNetAsia #AITransformation #AIAgents #DigitalInfrastructure #Telecommunications #FutureNet #Telstra

💬Great discussion this week with infrastructure and technology leaders in Singapore on how AI, cloud and resilience requirements are reshaping #digitalinfrastructure strategy. For years, infrastructure strategy was driven primarily by the need for more capacity. Today, it is no longer just about connecting applications and users. The ability to move data securely, predictably and at scale is becoming a competitive advantage.   As organisations distribute more data across data centres, cloud environments and regions, technology leaders are increasingly evaluating: ✅ How data moves between locations ✅ The resilience of underlying network routes ✅ Latency consistency for critical workloads ✅ Data sovereignty and governance requirements ✅ The ability to maintain operations during disruptions   Thank you to everyone who joined the discussion and shared their perspectives. Special thanks to Ciena, Digital Realty, Xenith IG for joining us to bring together technology leaders to exchange ideas on the infrastructure priorities shaping the AI era.   #TelstraDigitalInfrastructure #NetworkInfrastructure #DataCentres #AIReadiness
