Why ephemeral services, edge compute, and dynamic slicing are forcing a redesign of telecom operations — proven at TMF DTW Ignite 2026.
“There is $127 billion that we could possibly be leaving on the table at the moment.”— Henry Calvert, Head of Networks, GSMA

Your OSS Was Built for a Different World
Telecom OSS was designed for services that last four years. 5G slicing creates services that last four hours. The architecture fights itself.
Static Services
What Your OSS Was Built For
4 Years
- MPLS circuits, dedicated fiber, SD-WAN
- Provisioned once, monitored for years
- Static topology, predictable RCA cycles
- Monthly billing, permanent inventory
- Catalog entries that never change
What Your Network Can Already Sell
4 Hours
- 5G slices for stadium events, missions, sessions
- Auto-provisioned in seconds, auto-decommissioned
- Dynamic topology that reshapes in real time
- Per-event billing, vanishing inventory
- Catalog entries that exist for minutes
The Full Operational Blueprint
The four tricks every modern OSS needs to learn, the partners we’re demonstrating it with, and the path to production-grade slicing operations in six months.
The $127B Gap
GSMA’s own numbers on the enterprise slicing opportunity — and why operations, not network capability, is what’s keeping it stuck on the table.
Defining Ephemeral Services
What “ephemeral services” actually means in practice. Six real revenue use cases telecoms can sell today — from stadium 5G to drone surveillance.
Six OSS Failure Modes
Where the old OSS fails: service catalogs, inventory, correlation, RCA cycles, alarm storms, and geospatial blindness.
The Four New Tricks
Dynamic service modeling. Cross-domain correlation. Mission-scoped RCA. Real-time geospatial topology. The architectural shift required.
The DTW Catalyst Demo
Step-by-step walkthrough of the Port Canaveral drone surveillance demo with Wavelo, CGI, and BT Group — including the five booth scenarios.
The 6-Month Adoption Plan
Four phases from kickoff to production. Plus three diagnostic questions to ask your current OSS vendor before the next budget cycle.
