Cisco at Mobile World Congress 2025

AI-powered network optimization  

This demo will cover three key applications: network intelligence, network optimization, and energy reduction. It will highlight how Cisco’s AI-driven insights are powered by real-time data from a Cisco NCS 540 Router, helping operators identify underperforming cells, monitor customer experiences, and reduce energy consumption by up to 40%. The solution capabilities also support customer care, monetization opportunities, and proactive CAPEX/OPEX management. Cisco’s mobile network optimization’s closed-loop, scalable architecture offers a strategic advantage over competitors and complements Cisco’s Provider Connectivity Assurance for comprehensive connectivity assurance.

Adaptive networks for resilient services 

A forward-thinking vision for transforming CSP’s network infrastructure into a dynamic platform for rapidly launching and supporting new services. Faster, more flexible, and ultimately more profitable—these are the key objectives for CSPs, and it's time to show them how to deliver the managed services their customers demand. It’s all about turning network infrastructure into seamless, efficient service experiences. Stop by this demo to learn how Cisco Managed Services offer, involving security, SD-WAN, advanced analytics, SASE, and emerging AI compute services, present as new revenue opportunities—all without the need for expensive physical interventions.

Connecting devices and assuring services

Cisco ThousandEyes's Connected Devices solution provides CSPs with end-to-end visibility into in-home networks, enabling faster issue resolution and improved customer care by troubleshooting beyond the router. Paired with Cisco’s Provider Connectivity Assurance (PCA), this solution goes a step further by assuring service quality and offering real-time insights into power usage, energy consumption, and network performance. By integrating sustainability metrics, PCA helps service providers track carbon footprints alongside traditional performance data. Leveraging Cisco’s Crosswork Automation Suite and SDN, it optimizes power and carbon usage while ensuring SLA compliance and supporting emerging regulatory requirements like sovereign pathing.

Mobility Services: Innovation beyond infrastructure

Empower both communication service providers and enterprises with Cisco’s Mobility Services Platform—a powerful, API-first solution that defines and delivers seamless connectivity while enabling the creation of innovative applications. Our demos highlight how the platform seamlessly integrates private 5G networks, strengthens security with tools like Umbrella, and follows TMForum standards for efficient service management. With developer-friendly APIs, enterprises can quickly build custom applications like Location Services and Security, while service providers can unlock new revenue streams by offering differentiated services across industries. The platform also incorporates robust tools like Splunk and Cisco ThousandEyes for SLA compliance and enhanced network visibility. Cisco’s platform-centric approach simplifies operations and fosters innovation, delivering significant value for both enterprises and service providers.

Unified security for the AI-driven future

AI applications introduce new safety and security risks for enterprises. Cisco AI Defense tackles these challenges by seamlessly integrating purpose-built AI security technology into existing network visibility and enforcement points within the Cisco Security Cloud.

Unlock new potential with Splunk AI

Splunk provides end-to-end visibility across service providers’ complex, hybrid environments to keep digital systems securely up and running. With comprehensive context and interpretation, rapid event detection, and greater productivity with human-assisted automation, you can prevent major issues that threaten the security and reliability of their digital infrastructure. You can quickly remediate issues that do occur — so you can focus on innovations that strengthen your business and keep customers happy.

We'll show you how Splunk can correlate events across business, application, service, and infrastructure layers. With visibility across network and transactional data from databases, customer reference information and machine data from network switches, contact center analytics, call recording infrastructure, and back end order processing systems, you can reveal powerful insights based on individual customer journeys. You'll see how real-time, end-to-end visibility provides insights for monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting. Searches related to call duration and volume can help with setting rates, targeting marketing campaigns, and forecasting capacity and service needs. And we'll show you executive dashboards that will drive business unit awareness.
