Turning global supply chain into new CSP revenue through intelligent connectivity
Project companies
Global supply chains are becoming increasingly complex, distributed, and vulnerable to disruption. At the same time, CSPs are exploring new ways to extend their role in enterprise ecosystems and unlock new revenue streams. The AI-Powered Supply Chain and New Revenue Opportunities with Satellite–Mobile Convergence project demonstrates how combining terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks with advanced AI can reshape end-to-end supply chain visibility and orchestration.
Building on the foundations of previous Catalyst work (UNITe), this project shows how satellite connectivity, mobile networks, and intelligent edge capabilities can be unified into a seamless service layer that supports real-time tracking, situational awareness, and predictive decisioning for global logistics. AI agents analyse multimodal data—across air, land, and sea—to detect risks, anticipate delays, and recommend optimizations that keep goods moving efficiently.
By bringing together supply chain actors and CSP capabilities, the Catalyst illustrates how telecom operators can evolve from connectivity providers into strategic value partners, offering differentiated services such as intelligent logistics assurance, AI-powered monitoring, and new satellite-enabled enterprise offerings. Through this converged architecture, CSPs can capture new market opportunities while enabling more resilient, responsive, and sustainable global supply chains.
