Spotlight on new GSMA Members

New GSMA members partner with mobile operators to tap advanced tech and build value

Telecoms networks generate vast amounts of real-time data. For mobile operators, the rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are opening up opportunities to harvest that data to become more efficient and provide customers with a better experience. Applying AI and data science to day-to-day telecoms operations is a focus for two of the new members of the GSMA.

PowerX, for example, has purpose-built a native end-to-end solution that uses AI and data science to monitor, optimise, maintain and manage tower infrastructure. It is designed to embed intelligence directly into operations across telecom networks. By transforming fragmented operational data into predictive insights, coordinated workflows and optimised decisions, PowerX says it helps operators reduce costs, increase uptime and build the operational resilience demanded by the next wave of digital services. 

“All the innovation that our industry is excited about – AI-native networks, edge intelligence, private networks, 6G – ultimately depends on the physical mobile infrastructure underpinning it all,” notes Ani Chiuzan, Chief Marketing Officer of PowerX, which is based in London. “Conversations at MWC26 made that clearer than ever. The thousands of tower sites powering our mobile networks must be operated efficiently, resiliently and sustainably if we are to truly support the next wave of digital services. As we join the GSMA, we look forward to collaborating with operators and industry leaders to transform operational AI from an innovative concept into tangible, impactful, real-world results across global tower networks.” 

Cogitait – an AI and data science company based in London – helps businesses turn complex data into clear, actionable decisions. It specialises in predictive modelling, decision intelligence and secure AI analytics, with a view to enabling organisations to improve retention, reduce risk, detect fraud, optimise customer engagement and unlock tangible commercial value. Cogitait says its AI models can predict telecoms’ operators’ churn risks and forecast customer spending with precision.

“I am delighted that we have joined GSMA, connecting Cogitait with the organisations defining the future of telecoms and digital services,” says Clive Killops, Cogitait’s CEO. “Our focus is simple: turning AI and data science into measurable results that drive business growth. We look forward to bringing that kind of practical perspective to the GSMA community and building partnerships that create real value.”

Building partnerships with mobile operators

Meanwhile, PAiCore Technology – another new member of the GSMA – is pursuing open source principles to help mobile operators lower their costs.  Headquartered in Spain, PAiCore says it delivers highly-standardised and low-cost signalling solutions. Aiming to become the world’s first open source mobile core network provider, the company has made a commitment to releasing a free open source version of each of its products in an effort to reignite telecom innovation and sustainable profitability for the telecoms industry.

“Becoming a GSMA member reflects PAiCore’s commitment to deliver open source, standardised, and cost-efficient solutions for the telecom industry,” adds Celeo Arias, CEO and Founder of PAiCore Technology. “As GSMA members we can efficiently collaborate with global operators and partners, contributing to forward-looking initiatives while maintaining relevant legacy technology updated to the latest GSMA standards. Cost efficient open source solutions are something the telecom industry definitely needs.”

Joining the GSMA will also help VINOC, a Mexico-based telecommunications carrier and MVNO/MVNE platform, build stronger partnerships with mobile operators around the world. VINOC specialises in A2P (application-to-person) messaging, voice, DID (direct inward dialling) origination, roaming and eSIM enablement. By developing direct operator partnerships and global interconnections, VINOC aims to delivers scalable, secure, and innovative connectivity solutions for enterprises, operators and digital service providers across the Americas.

“Joining GSMA represents an important milestone for VINOC as we expand our global connectivity platform and deepen collaboration with the international telecom ecosystem,” explains José Luis Anaya, CEO of VINOC. “Through GSMA membership, we aim to strengthen partnerships with mobile operators, contribute to industry initiatives, and accelerate innovation in areas such as roaming, eSIM, and next-generation AI services.”

Prioritising trust and transparency

Enabling smarter and smoother communications is also the focus of London-based Wavecrest, which describes itself as a “critical bridge between cloud providers and local operators.” The 20-year-old business specialises in delivering high-quality wholesale voice termination and connectivity across more than 200 countries. It strives to simplify the complexity of global communications by building managed services that prioritise transparency, fraud prevention, and regulatory excellence. 

“As a founding member of One Consortium, we are deeply committed to restoring trust in communications,” adds Johan Peetermans, Head of Products at Wavecrest. “Trust is the only currency that matters in global communications. Participating in the GSMA Foundry Open Verifiable Calling project, we aren’t just upgrading caller ID, we are building a verifiable trust framework that protects brands and consumers alike.”
