From Connectivity to Experience: Our 2025 Impact and Path Forward
This year marked a turning point for us at Wavelo—not just in the solutions we offered, but in how we redefined what’s possible for the telecom industry. True to our roots as bold disruptors, we showcased how Wavelo’s architecture empowers telcos to evolve beyond connectivity and into the experience business. Through scalable proof points in our event-driven design, product catalog innovation, and data-driven capabilities, we demonstrated how Wavelo is laying the foundation for the AI-powered telco of the future. Across global events, new partnerships, and key certifications, we turned ambition into measurable progress—cementing 2025 as a milestone in our journey to redefine the industry itself.
Setting the Stage: Visibility and Voice
Across the globe, Wavelo’s presence resonated as both catalyst and convenor for telecom’s next wave. From Innovate Americas to Futurecom to DTW Ignite, our teams showcased how Wavelo’s architecture delivers real-world agility and open collaboration at scale. We moved beyond conversations—turning thought leadership into tangible partnerships, driving multi-region growth, and inspiring a new dialogue around how open systems can accelerate innovation, naming us an IDC Innovator in IDC’s 2025 Telecom Business Support Systems report.
Driving Outcomes through Innovation
As AI reshapes telecom, many in the industry are confronting the limitations of outdated systems and integrations. Wavelo’s event-driven architecture eliminates those barriers—enabling AI to operate not just as a tool for analysis, but as a catalyst for immediate action. Our event-driven architecture enables real-time responsiveness which unlocks predictive network resilience, personalized customer journeys, and faster, smarter operations for our customers. The outcomes speak for themselves: accelerated onboarding, streamlined billing, simplified orchestration, and greater operational freedom.
The TM Forum Catalyst Certification
Our TM Forum conformance certification for our innovative Innovation Catalyst: Autonomous and Sustainable IOT Ecosystems at Scale - Phase II spotlighted our commitment to standards-driven, interoperable architectures. Working closely with BT and CGI, we showcased how Wavelo’s event-driven architecture enables telcos to scale IoT offerings and unlock new revenue streams from their 5G investments. This achievement reflected both our technical leadership and our readiness to be a strategic partner in driving large-scale transformation across the telecom ecosystem.
Partnership and Ecosystem Growth
The year brought significant momentum. Our four-year contract renewal with EchoStar fuelled customer experience advancements for Boost Mobile, while new alliance models with integrators and cloud providers turned isolated innovation into ecosystem-wide value. Case studies with long-term partners like Ting showcased our strategic advantages: a platform built on over 30 years of Internet-thinking and working side-by-side with our partners to rethink what’s possible for MVNOs.
