Member Insights Wavelo's Michelle Nowak highlights the important commercial role of service assurance in a Catalyst project focusing on the Internet of Moving Things. How the Autonomous IoMT Catalyst helps CSPs monetize intelligence There's a version of this story that's easy to tell. Drones are proliferating. Autonomous vehicles are being tested on public roads. Delivery robots are navigating city streets. The Internet of Moving Things (IoMT) is here, and it's generating enormous demand for 5G connectivity. But that version of the story misses the harder and more interesting question: What does it actually take to serve a world of moving, autonomous, mission-critical devices – not just to carry their traffic but to orchestrate their operations, guarantee their service levels and build commercially viable offerings around them? That's the question TM Forum’s Phase III Catalyst — Autonomous and Sustainable Moving IoT Ecosystems at Scale was designed to answer. As a participant, Wavelo brought agentic service assurance, a capability that sits at the heart of what makes the latest phase of the project possible. The earlier phases of this Catalyst laid important groundwork, demonstrating that autonomous moving IoT orchestration is technically achievable and that AI can manage connectivity for moving assets in ways that legacy network management could not. Phase II tackled the next logical step: commercialization. Technical proof-of-concept and commercial readiness are very different problems. A capability that works in a controlled demonstration needs to be packageable, priceable, and scalable before it becomes a business. Phase III, which was demonstrated recently at DTW Ignite, was explicitly designed to close that gap by prototyping monetizable service models such as corridor-based licensing, mission-based pricing and AI insights-as-a-service, while also expanding the solution beyond drones to cover autonomous vehicles, delivery bots, robotics and mobile industrial assets across industries including logistics, smart cities, utilities, public
