Cerillion Blog - BSS/OSS

Digital transformation remains one of the telecom industry's greatest challenges. Despite billions invested in BSS/OSS modernisation, many programmes still fall short of expectations. So, is the real problem the technology – or who is leading the change?

Global supply chains for perishable and fragile goods continue to face significant challenges. At DTW26, Cerillion joined industry leaders in demonstrating how AI and seamless connectivity across terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks can transform supply chains. Leonardo Hodgson explains how CSPs can move beyond connectivity and monetise services across intelligent supply-chain ecosystems.

As AI drives unprecedented demand for compute, power and data-centre capacity, the cloud is being forced back down to earth. For telecom operators, the question is who controls the physical infrastructure powering the next phase of the digital economy?

Telecom operators are under growing pressure to move faster, but many are constrained by legacy BSS/OSS architectures. Can an API-first approach provide a more flexible foundation for innovation?

Three has dropped surprise speed caps on its customers, limiting its standard consumer plans to 100Mbps. Is speed now a premium feature for mobile data plans?

South Korea is implementing a policy of universal basic mobile data, guaranteeing a minimum level of connectivity for all users and redefining what it means to be connected. What does this new baseline of connectivity look like in practice – and how does “snack culture” fit into it?

While operators race to deliver ever-faster connections to people who are already well-served, billions of potential customers remain without any reliable signal at all. Is ubiquitous coverage, not speed, where the opportunity lies?

MWC 2026 was full of AI, robotics and bold ideas, but not all of it lived up to the hype. Cerillion’s Product Director, Brian Coombs, cuts through the noise to identify what really mattered – from the growing importance of satellite connectivity to the “invisible” systems that turn innovation into revenue.
