Last week’s Annual Members Meeting made one thing clear: 2026 is about focus and execution on Mplify’s core industry role: facilitating automated Network-as-a-Service across the global ecosystem.
As AI-driven systems evolve toward agent-based operations, our work on LSO APIs, certification, and cross-domain coordination becomes foundational. Committees are moving specifications forward. Validation models are evolving. Member collaboration is translating strategy into output.
As we move through Q1, the focus is clear: translating alignment into action and execution into measurable progress.

Mplify Showcases Agentic Connected Experiences at MWC26 Barcelona
At MWC26 Barcelona, Mplify joins Colt Technology Services, Orange, Google Cloud, and GSMA Open
Gateway to demonstrate how agentic AI and standardized network APIs orchestrate communication quality across wireless and wired networks.
The live showcase highlights closed-loop coordination using CAMARA APIs and Mplify LSO APIs to dynamically support connected vehicles and autonomous mobility use cases from partners including DENSO and Tata Elxsi.
This demonstration positions NaaS as an active, intelligent layer in AI-powered mobility, not just transport infrastructure.Read the announcement →
Global NaaS Events by Mplify: A Year-Round Platform

Member Workdays Recap: Advancing Carrier Ethernet for AI
Recent Member Workdays advanced three initiatives shaping Carrier Ethernet for AI.
Members refined new performance tiers and objectives to characterize deterministic network performance for AI workloads. In parallel, use cases and business requirement work progressed across training and inference scenarios. A Carrier Ethernet for AI Certification Blueprint also moved forward as a foundational asset within the broader certification framework.
This cross-committee work reflects member-driven progress translating strategy into deliverables. Find more details on active projects and get involved through the Member Portal.
Mplify will be participating in live demonstrations and ecosystem sessions showcasing agentic AI, standardized APIs, and cross-domain orchestration in action. Connect with the team to discuss NaaS for AI, automation through LSO APIs, and certification evolution.
Mplify will be on-site as data-center interconnection and AI-driven connectivity take center stage. Join Mplify Chief Product Officer Daniel Bar-Lev for “DCI and the Connectivity Boom from AI Workloads” on Tuesday, 24 March. He will explore how AI workload growth is reshaping scalable infrastructure and what’s next for cross-domain connectivity.
8–9 June | Member Workdays
Alliance members come together for two focused days of hands-on collaboration—advancing active committee projects across a wide range of NaaS-oriented topics. Details and registration coming soon.
