Bell Canada: Advancing the delivery of goods via drones with 5G and MEC capabilities

As the market races to evaluate the opportunity of token-focused AI monetisation, perhaps the most important question is around the challenges and risks. Against the backdrop of an evolving and uncertain new market, this piece covers the potential pitfalls that operators need to be aware of.

This white paper, using evidence from a GSMA Intelligence survey of operators in Asia Pacific, explains why traditional perimeter-based security is no longer enough and what operators need to do to build a more resilient, architecture-led approach. It covers how AI is changing the threat landscape; why expanding attack surfaces require stronger governance; and how native security, depth defence, dual security operation centre (SOC) operations and AI-enabled tools can help operators protect critical networks.

This latest edition of the GSMA Open Gateway research series provides an update on the state of the market, recent developments and examples of Open Gateway in action. The market is increasingly moving away from operator-specific API exposure and towards platform-mediated distribution, where developers prefer a single integration point with global reach. This changes the commercial dynamic for the ecosystem.
