Entitlement Servers are evolving from a connectivity-enablement function into a broader infrastructure layer connecting devices, networks, identities and digital services. As eSIM, RCS, IoT and connected experiences expand, operators need new ways to manage increasingly complex service and device relationships at scale.

Join industry leaders from Motive, Google, Telefónica and Counterpoint Research as they explore how entitlement infrastructure is evolving, what this means for the mobile ecosystem, and where new opportunities for service innovation and monetization are emerging.

What you'll learn

  • Beyond VoLTE and VoWi-Fi: why Entitlement Servers are becoming a critical layer for digital identity and service authorization
  • The authentication opportunity: how Phone Number Verification and Silent Authentication let operators offer secure, frictionless customer verification using the network assets they already have
  • More devices, more complexity: what the growth of eSIM, connected devices, RCS, IoT and automotive connectivity means for entitlement management, and why scalable, intelligent platforms matter
  • From server to orchestration layer: how modern Entitlement Servers connect with consumer eSIM orchestration platforms, device ecosystems and operator digital platforms
  • Monetization and customer experience: where operators that modernize their entitlement infrastructure can find new revenue, better experiences and simpler management of future services
