This month’s GSMA Member Newsletter features a webinar with Fortinet on securing AI, quantum resilience and telco security operations, alongside analysis on how MVNOs are evolving into platform‑based businesses.

You’ll also find updates on the Quantum Implementation Playbook (developed with QCentroid) and the launch of GSMA’s industry‑first Agentic AI testbed, giving members practical ways to assess business impact and evaluate AI systems against real‑world network challenges.

We also share new opportunities to engage through GSMA Working Groups, collaborative challenges and community meetings - including Industrial AI in manufacturing and the Telco Troubleshooting Agentic Challenge. We look forward to hearing from our members at the forthcoming Fraud and Security Group (FASG) #35 meeting in Singapore (8–12 June), hosted by Google.
