Evaluate Network Readiness for Enterprise AI Adoption and Deployment
This Omdia white paper, authored by Principal Analyst Jim Frey (July 2026) and commissioned by Verizon, examines AI network readiness and practical steps for ensuring networks can support strategic AI transformations. It cites Omdia research findings, including that 80% of organizations are making or planning significant infrastructure investments for AI, that less than half (49%) report a clearly positive ROI on production AI deployments, that 62% find managing AI infrastructure more difficult than building AI models, and that 88% of enterprises agree AI is making networking more critical. The paper defines a four-stage AI adoption lifecycle—Explorer, Pilot, Deployer, and Optimizer—outlining networking considerations for each, such as cloud connectivity, bandwidth capacity, latency, hybrid environments, edge inferencing, cost control, enterprise-grade security (privacy, encryption, zero-trust), operational monitoring, and programmable networks. It addresses the "agentic wildcard," noting agentic AI's higher network traffic and low-latency needs, and the use of network-level guardrails such as AI-aware firewalls. The document maps Verizon AI Connect—a suite spanning high-performance connectivity, network programmability, data center and edge compute infrastructure (including Verizon Wavelength Services, colocation, GPUaaS, dark fiber, and software-defined networking via self-service tools and open APIs)—to each lifecycle stage. A footnote states Verizon AI Connect is not available outside of the US, UK, and France. The paper is distributed under license from TechTarget, Inc.

Know Your Customer Match API Solution Brief
This Verizon solution brief describes the Know Your Customer Match API, a tool that provides real-time identity verification by cross-referencing customer-provided details against attributes held by Verizon and returning a match score. The document explains that the API embeds an automated identity check into an application's workflow to support identity verification. It lists benefits including enhanced fraud prevention (reducing the risk of identity fraud, including synthetic identities) and increased operational efficiency (meeting regulatory obligations, automating checks and reducing customer friction). The brief notes the API is built using CAMARA specifications, an open source project hosted by the Linux Foundation focused on simplifying access to telecom network capabilities through APIs. Stated use cases include account creation/onboarding and re-verifying identity before high-risk transactions such as high-value orders, deposits or fund transfers. It outlines how the API works in three steps: Request (the application passes key data fields including MSISDN, name, address and email to Verizon), Verify (the API cross-references the information against Verizon records), and Respond (the API returns a 0–100 fuzzy match score indicating the probability that the information aligns with Verizon's records). For more information, readers are directed to contact their Verizon Account Representative or email networkapis@verizon.com.
