Agentic AI Builds Out Across the Network: AI & Automation Insights, June 2026

Agentic AI Builds Out Across the Network: AI & Automation Insights, June 2026
June 2026 showed agentic AI scaling from pilot to platform: industry-wide standards momentum, AI-RAN field trials from Nokia, Amdocs and KDDI, and fresh capital across data centers on three continents. This full roundup covers every deployment, partnership, funding round and governance move from the month, with tools to prioritise AI use cases and plan the network around them.

Deutsche Telekom Switches to Mavenir for 5G Standalone Core

Deutsche Telekom made cloud jump from Ericsson to Mavenir in 5G
Deutsche Telekom's transition from Ericsson to Mavenir as its primary 5G standalone core provider represents a fundamental rethinking of how Tier 1 operators architect and operate networks in the cloud-native era. Mavenir now carries all standalone 5G traffic in Germany, while Ericsson handles legacy 4G and non-standalone 5G. Driven by the Horizontal TelCo Cloud initiative, the shift has already produced measurable results including 65% energy savings in live testing and three commercial network slicing deployments, with Apple FaceTime set to leverage these capabilities at consumer scale via iOS 26.

GSMA Open Gateway: Dutch Telcos Launch CAMARA Fraud APIs

GSMA Open Gateway: Dutch Telcos Launch CAMARA Fraud APIs
A coordinated launch in the Netherlands brings standardized, network-powered security APIs to market at national scale. KPN, Odido, and Vodafone Netherlands have jointly introduced a set of security services based on CAMARA, the open-source API framework hosted by the Linux Foundation and aligned with the GSMA Open Gateway program. Working with the Dutch COIN association, the operators are exposing harmonized, privacy-aware network signals that enterprises can use to strengthen authentication and reduce online fraud. The Dutch launch prioritizes identity-centric use cases. Number Verification allows apps to confirm that a user’s device and mobile number match the current session—often silently in the background—reducing one-time password SMS dependency.

AI Leaders Double Revenue and Cut Costs 40%

AI Leaders Double Revenue and Cut Costs 40%
The AI value gap is widening—and it’s now a strategy problem, not a tooling problem. Fresh research shows a small cohort of “future-built” companies converting AI into material P&L impact while most firms lag despite sizable spend. BCG’s 2025 assessment of 1,250 senior executives finds only 5% of companies have the capabilities to consistently generate outsized AI value, with 35% scaling and beginning to see benefits, and a full 60% reporting little to no financial impact to date.

Indonesia Telcos Telkomsel, IOH, and XLSMART API Alliance (CAMARA) Boosts Security

Indonesia Telco API Alliance (CAMARA) Boosts Security
Indonesia’s three leading mobile players - Telkomsel, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH), and XLSMART -have formed a joint Telco API Alliance to standardize network-exposed APIs and harden the country’s digital ecosystem against fraud. The alliance commits all three operators to a common telco API protocol aligned with CAMARA, the open-source, Linux Foundation–hosted API project supported by the GSMA Open Gateway initiative. The initial roll-out centers on customer protection and fraud prevention—areas where network signals offer high value. SIM Swap detection flags recent SIM changes, a leading indicator of account takeover risk.
