From AI to Autonomous Networks: Mobileum Spark Highlights the Next Frontier of Telecom Intelligence

CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 15, 2026--

Mobileum Inc. ("Mobileum"), a leading global provider of telecom analytics and network solutions, brought together telecom operators and industry leaders during its Mobileum Spark events series in Lisbon (Portugal) and Frankfurt (Germany), to explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI), Agentic AI and automation are transforming network operations and accelerating the evolution toward autonomous networks.

Focused on Risk Management & Fraud Prevention and Network Testing & Assurance, the events featured customer-led discussions, expert insights, and real-world use cases demonstrating how AI and advanced automation are helping operators address increasing network complexity, strengthen fraud prevention, improve service assurance, and drive operational efficiency.

A central theme across both events was the shift from reactive operations toward more predictive, proactive, and increasingly autonomous operations. Discussions highlighted the importance of trusted data, domain-specific intelligence, and AI-driven automation in turning network insights into faster decisions and actions.

"We want to use AI to find the problems we haven't already thought about. That's where it can have a bigger impact, freeing up our people to focus on delivering more valuable insights to the business," said a Tier 1 European MNO customer participating in Mobileum Spark event in Lisbon, Portugal.

"We are looking to AI to expand our automation capabilities, particularly in continuous testing, test configuration, and root cause analysis. These initiatives support our broader autonomous network strategy," shared a Tier 1 MNO customer that attended the Mobileum Spark event in Frankfurt, Germany.

The events also highlighted the expanding role of telecom operators in protecting the broader digital ecosystem. As AI-powered systems become increasingly sophisticated and autonomous, telecom networks provide a critical vantage point for detecting emerging agentic threats, identifying anomalous behaviors and combating AI-enabled fraud and scams. This creates an opportunity for telecom risk management to evolve into a critical line of defense in the age of super intelligence.

At the same time, applying AI to mission-critical telecom environments requires more than generic Large Language Models. Trusted AI must combine domain-specific intelligence with predictable controls, security by design, explainability and auditable decision-making, ensuring that increasingly autonomous systems operate within clear governance frameworks.

Mobileum is advancing this vision by combining deep telecom expertise with AI-powered analytics, Agentic Intelligence and advanced automation. Through solutions such as RAID for risk intelligence, SITE for automated testing and GlobalRoamer® for global connectivity testing and service assurance, together with its Active Intelligence Platform, Mobileum is helping operators identify emerging risks, automate complex workflows and translate insights into intelligent action.

Beyond operational efficiency, discussions also explored how telecom operators can leverage their wealth of network, identity, transactional and behavioral intelligence to create new services and revenue streams. With appropriate privacy and governance frameworks, trusted telecom intelligence can help banks, fintechs and other enterprises address growing challenges such as fraud prevention, customer intelligence and operational efficiency.

"The journey toward autonomous networks is about moving from insights to intelligent action, but doing so in a responsible way that operators can trust," said Bernardo Lucas, BU Head & Chief Marketing Officer, Mobileum. "At Mobileum, we believe AI's greatest potential goes beyond automating existing processes. It is about discovering risks we could not previously identify, making operations more intelligent and creating new sources of value. By combining domain-specific AI, Agentic Intelligence and trusted controls, we are helping operators make this transformation practical, secure and measurable."

Mobileum Spark reflects the company's commitment to collaborative innovation, bringing operators, technology providers and industry stakeholders together to exchange ideas, share experiences and jointly shape the future of telecom intelligence.

Through initiatives such as Mobileum Spark, Mobileum continues to help operators accelerate AI adoption, strengthen digital trust and advance toward more intelligent, secure, and autonomous operations.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorneys for Rep. Ilhan Omar asked the Justice Department on Friday to immediately return property that federal agents seized from her home this week, arguing that the search stemming from an immigration fraud investigation was “neither justified nor lawful.”

In a letter obtained by The Associated Press, lawyers for the Democrat from Minnesota described the investigation as a baseless effort to go after a longtime political target of Republican President Donald Trump, noting that the search was conducted just weeks before the midterm elections, in which Omar is on the ballot.

Omar's attorneys wrote that there is "no legitimate basis for any suggestion that she has violated any law concerning her citizenship status."

“This vindictive, retributive, and politically motivated criminal investigation into one of the President’s chief congressional critics violates Representative Omar’s constitutional rights and threatens the separation of powers," Omar's legal team wrote in the letter first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

A Justice Department spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment Friday evening.

Monday's search of Omar's Washington, D.C., home this week drew swift condemnation from Democrats, as the Justice Department has historically sought to avoid public investigative actions involving a candidate within 60 days of a primary or general election.

Federal authorities seized Omar's phone in the search and have issued more than a dozen grand jury subpoenas, including to some of her relatives, a person briefed on the probe told the AP this week.

The scope of the investigation into Omar is unclear, though Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has suggested that authorities were examining potential crimes related to her family’s immigration paperwork. Separately, Washington's U.S Attorney Jeanine Pirro has said “there are several investigations going on” related to Omar and her office is probing issues concerning the lawmaker’s financial disclosures.

In the letter, Omar's attorneys accused the Justice Department of violating longstanding agency policy designed to avoid potentially influencing an election. They also raised concerns about whether the department appropriately followed all of the specific instructions by the magistrate judge who approved the search.

In addition to the return of her property, Omar's attorneys are demanding that the Justice Department preserve any audio and video that was taken during the search, according to the letter.

Omar has repeatedly refuted allegations about her marriage and immigration status raised by conservative critics, even before she joined Congress.

According to her House biography, Omar has said she and her family fled Somalia’s civil war when she was 8: “The family spent four years in a refugee camp in Kenya before coming to the United States in 1990s. In 1997, she moved to Minneapolis with her family.” She became a lawfully naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000, according to her lawyers.

Conservative online sites have alleged that Omar married a brother to commit immigration fraud. Omar has broadly denied the allegations as “disgusting lies” and called the insinuation “absurd and offensive.”

The search of her home came just days after Trump referred pejoratively to Omar at a rally in Tennessee as coming from a country of “crime and squalor” and suggested that Vice President JD Vance “and our people” were investigating her. Hours after the search, Trump told reporters he had “nothing to do” with it and it’s “really up to the DOJ.”
