The companies are participants in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/solutions-and-impact\/gsma-open-gateway\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GSMA Open Gateway Initiative<\/a>.\u00a0Their joint effort focuses on testing two new AI protocols \u2013 Agent-to-Agent Protocol (A2A) and Model Context Protocol (MCP). <\/p>\n<p>The A2A protocol enables multiple AI agents to coordinate complex workflows by discovering, communicating and collaborating dynamically. MCP standardises how AI systems access external tools and data in a consistent and secure manner. <\/p>\n<p>By integrating the two protocols, Telef\u00f3nica and Nokia aim to streamline the process of exposing and consuming network APIs, making it easier for industry partners and developers to build and deliver new services efficiently. The rationale is that this will lead to new monetisation models and show how the \u2018agent economy\u2019 can be adopted, paving the way toward \u201ca fully agentic monetisation ecosystem\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The development started with testing an agent to prevent bank fraud in\u00a0a\u00a0lab. Telefonica\u2019s testbed uses an MCP server, provided by Nokia\u2019s\u00a0Network Exposure Platform, to expose network APIs and other resources that benefit the bank fraud prevention application. They include SIM swap and device swap among others.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nokia\u2019s\u00a0Network as Code\u00a0platform aggregates these capabilities from Telef\u00f3nica to simplify exposure to banks\u2019 application developers in an A2A format.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>The companies say they have \u201cnumerous\u201d other use-case examples they plan to test together.\u00a0They will share insights from this initiative with the industry to foster standardisation and accelerate the ecosystem\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTelef\u00f3nica is committed to driving open innovation in network exposure and automation. By working with Nokia to pilot these advanced AI protocols, we are laying the groundwork for faster and more scalable adoption of Network APIs. Being prepared to expose AI Agents is key to continuing to monetize our capabilities,\u201d said\u00a0Cayetano Carbajo, Core, Transport and Ecosystem Director at CTIO,\u00a0speaking on behalf of Telef\u00f3nica. <\/p>\n<p>Shkumbin Hamiti, Head of Network Monetization Platform at Nokia, added, \u201cBy combining AI protocols with Nokia\u2019s Network Exposure and Network as Code platforms, we enable secure, consistent access to network capabilities and let AI agents coordinate complex workflows, end to end. The result is an actionable, developer\u2011friendly experience that moves our industry one step closer to an agent\u2011driven monetization ecosystem.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Their efforts include integrating the A2A protocol and MCP as a step towards building an \u2018agent economy\u2019 and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[7942,7943,7944,7945,7946,155],"class_list":{"0":"post-13198","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-telefonica","8":"tag-agent-to-agent-protocol-a2a","9":"tag-agentic-ai-ecosystem","10":"tag-agentic-economy","11":"tag-model-context-protocol-mcp","12":"tag-nokia","13":"tag-telefonica"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
