How 2 trillion tokens and 20+ production use cases help telecoms escape 'Pilot Purgatory' with insights from NVIDIA, F3 Networks and TELUS
The telecommunications industry has long faced a critical challenge: converting AI investments into return on investment (ROI). According to NVIDIA's State of AI in Telecommunications: 2025 Trends report,
TELUS Digital addresses this challenge through proven, production-grade AI deployments. In 2025 alone, the company processed over 2 trillion tokens across dozens of AI models through its Fuel iXTM generative AI (GenAI) engine for its parent company, TELUS. This represents an enterprise-scale AI implementation across global telecommunications operations and customers. TELUS Digital will reveal the operational blueprint behind that scale in a 90-minute presentation on March 4 at MWC 2026.
"In the AI world, tokens represent the currency of experience. They distinguish organizations only experimenting with AI from those operating it at scale," said Bret Kinsella, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Fuel iX at TELUS Digital. "We processed over 2 trillion AI model tokens in 2025 through our Fuel iX platform, deploying production-grade AI for global customers and across our own operations. At MWC 2026, we're sharing specific examples that show how telecom providers can progress from AI experimentation to measurable business impact." The presentation features 20+ real-world use cases, live demonstrations, and expert discussions with TELUS, F3 Networks and NVIDIA representatives on escaping "Pilot Purgatory" through intelligent infrastructure and AI-driven automation.
With 20+ years of telecom industry leadership, TELUS Digital is uniquely positioned as an industry insider due to its subsidiary relationship with TELUS, a world-leading communications technology company headquartered in
