Mobile network operators are entering an AI-native era where the requirements for monetization, operational efficiency, and future readiness intersect. The evolution they’re undergoing is from Telco to TechCo, and AI is at the heart of it—from the AI-integrated operations being built today to the power of a fully agentic, AI-native ecosystem.
This panel, hosted by Mavenir at Mobile World Congress in partnership with Mobile World Live, will convene industry experts to examine how AI can transform operations, unlock new revenue opportunities, and lay the foundations for the future. It will:
- Introduce AI for Autonomous Networks focusing on operational efficiency enabled by Agentic Service Assurance and closed-loop automation to deliver self-healing, cost-optimized and predictive network operations while advancing operators toward TMF Level 4 and Level 5 autonomy.
- Deliver a case study for Autonomous Networks focusing on operational efficiency enabled by Agentic Service Assurance and closed-loop automation while advancing operators toward TMF Level 4 and Level 5 autonomy.
- Outline the AI building blocks and approaches needed to achieve operational transformation and monetization through AI frameworks.
- Deliver a case study of Voice AI, demonstrating seamless consumption of telecom capabilities by applications and fostering a telco-aware digital ecosystem.
- Detail a roadmap to an AI-native future and 6G AI Core, and the benefits it will deliver.
