The agentic network – powering the future of telecoms with AI

Join us for a forward-looking discussion on the transformative potential of Agentic AI in the telecommunications industry. This session, hosted by Raman Mistry, Channel Partner Engagement Lead, GSMA, will bring together key industry players from Googla, Vodafone, Infobip and MTN Chenosis to explore how autonomous AI agents are set to revolutionise network operations, service delivery, and customer experience. 

The conversation will centre on the powerful synergies emerging between Agentic AI, the GSMA's Open Gateway initiative, and foundational frameworks like the Model Context Protocol (MCP). We will explore how MCP can act as a universal translator, enabling AI agents to seamlessly interact with and leverage the rich capabilities exposed by Open Gateway APIs. This convergence promises to unlock a new wave of innovation, moving beyond human-in-the-loop processes to a future of proactive, intelligent, and autonomous network management. 

Our expert panel will delve into tangible use cases and the roadmap for pilot projects that can demonstrate the real-world value of this new paradigm. From dynamic network resource allocation and predictive maintenance to the creation of highly personalised and context-aware services for enterprise customers, the opportunities are vast. 

This session is a must-attend for those looking to understand the next frontier of AI in telecoms. Be part of the conversation as we map out a collaborative path towards an intelligent, programmable, and agent-driven network infrastructure. 

Key Themes for Discussion: 

• The current state of the GSMA's work on Agentic AI: Exploring the latest developments from the Mobile AI Community and the roadmap for creating an interoperable agent-based ecosystem. 

• MCP Overview: Understanding the protocol's architecture, its benefits for the telecom industry, and the tools available for creating MCP servers from existing API specifications. 

• Synergies between MCP and Open Gateway: Brainstorming how MCP can be used to accelerate the development and adoption of services built on Open Gateway APIs, and how the two initiatives can be formally aligned. 

• The role of complementary protocols: Discussing how Google's Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, which focuses on communication between agents, can work in tandem with MCP to create more sophisticated and collaborative AI systems within the telecom environment.  

• Use cases and pilot projects: Identifying tangible scenarios where Agentic AI, powered by MCP and Open Gateway, can deliver significant value, from advanced network automation to highly personalized and context-aware customer services. 

• Interactive Q&A: A forum for open dialogue with the community's driving members.
