TS.43 Entitlements in Practice: Market Use Cases, Implementation Lessons, and Future Directions

GSMA's TS.43 standard for entitlements is the engine for the new wave of services, from seamless eSIM activation and RCS to secure subscriber and device authentication. But how do operators move from the specification to a live, market-ready service? This session moves beyond theory to share practical, field-level lessons learned from real-world TS.43 Entitlement deployments.

We will explore the primary use cases driving adoption. More importantly, we will discuss key implementation hurdles operators face and identify critical gaps in the current ecosystem, offering a forward-looking perspective on what's needed to realize the standard's full potential.
