When disaster strikes, communications infrastructure is often the first critical system to fail—and the last to be fully restored. Today’s telecom networks are built with redundancy across systems, domains, and operators. Yet when large-scale disruptions occur, operators still act independently, restoring services independently, causing delays when every minute matters. With OmniBOSS Phase III we challenge this model. In response to the devastating impact of Cyclone Ditwah in Sri Lanka—where widespread flooding and landslides caused severe telecom outages and delayed relief efforts—we explore a different approach: What if operators could dynamically compose networks across organisational boundaries—sharing infrastructure, systems, and resources in real time? From Redundancy to Composability We want to demonstrate that inter-operator network composability can fundamentally change how the industry responds to crises. Enabling operators to combine infrastructure, coordinate field teams, and orchestrate systems across boundaries makes it possible to * Restore life-saving connectivity within the critical search-and-rescue window, dramatically reducing time to reconnect affected areas * Reactivate communication infrastructure rapidly, combining network capabilities across operators when every minute matters * Enable real-time, cross-operator emergency response, allowing networks, resources, and field forces to act as one * Prioritise and protect critical communications, ensuring continuity for emergency services, healthcare, government, and security operations * Maintain access to essential services, safeguarding critical digital platforms such as mobile financial services (e.g. M-PESA, bKash) * Coordinate recovery efforts more efficiently, improving logistics and making field operations far more targeted Delivered through * A geofenced digital twin simulating disaster impact * A governance and policy framework ensuring secure, controlled collaboration * Real-time orchestration across networks and operators And enabled via a distributed AI platform, coordinating response and field activity. Collaboration by Design Cross-operator collaboration must be trusted, secure, and commercially viable, ensured through * Policy-driven data sharing with strict governance controls * Geofenced and abstracted data models to protect competitive boundaries * Full auditability of actions and decisions * Transparent cost allocation and automated settlement across operators This enables collaboration that is not only technically feasible—but operationally and commercially sustainable Standards-Driven, Real-World Execution OmniBOSS Phase III extends TM Forum standards into real-time, multi-operator coordination, built on: * 15+ TM Forum Open APIs * eTOM-aligned processes * SID-based data models With contributions in: * Emergency Coordination APIs * Policy & Trust frameworks for composability * Real-time event collaboration Bridging the gap between standardisation and live execution. Key Benefits at a Glance * Restore life-saving connectivity faster during the critical rescue window * Enable real-time cross-operator coordination of networks and field force * Protect critical communications through policy-driven prioritisation * Maintain essential services for affected populations * Support governed collaboration with full transparency, control, and settlement Turning weeks of disruption into days—and days into hours.
