AI is accelerating one of the most significant shifts the digital infrastructure industry has experienced in decades. As organizations prepare for AI-ready digital infrastructure, the need for standardized automation, interoperability, and industry collaboration has never been greater.
Across Mplify, members are advancing new projects, reviewing standards, and developing the frameworks that will support NaaS for AI, Agentic LSO, and NaaS Federation. This month's newsletter highlights the latest opportunities to contribute, stay informed, and help shape the next phase of the Alliance's work.

Agentic LSO for ASR Committee: LSOC Develops a reference architecture for using agentic AI to automate the transition from legacy Access Service Requests (ASRs) to standards-based LSO APIs. The project helps service providers modernize wholesale ordering while preserving existing OSS/BSS investments.
SASE Policy Management Agentic LSO Use Case Committee: CBC Defines a standardized approach for automating SASE policy changes in response to cybersecurity events, enabling enterprises and service providers to detect threats, coordinate responses, and update security policies more quickly.
AI Agent Communication Protocols Committee: CBC Examines emerging AI agent communication protocols and their implications for service providers, identifying how autonomous agents can securely automate service delivery, orchestration, and inter-provider coordination.
AI Edge Data Center Power & Cooling Committee: DSC Develops standardized attributes describing power and cooling requirements for edge GPUaaS deployments, complementing Mplify 130 and supporting consistent service definitions as AI infrastructure expands to the network edge.
