Connected Communities
Uniting adjacent industries
The GSMA has developed Connected Communities, an initiative to bring MNOs and industry together to innovate. Get involved in our communities, participate in thought-leadership, share knowledge and insights, network with the broader ecosystem and help us drive digital change.
Connected Industries
Manufacturing and Production
The GSMA Manufacturing and Production Community drives industrial transformation by uniting stakeholders to accelerate the adoption of 5G, AI and other digital technologies across manufacturing, mining, logistics and other sectors, fostering collaboration to develop and deploy safer, more efficient, and sustainable operations. By joining, members gain access to a unique network focused on taking the lead in key issues and driving Industry 4.0.
Fintech and Mobile Commerce
The mobile ecosystem is central to fintech and commerce. GSMA members and fintech partners collaborate to explore common interests, key issues, and share insights and case studies. They create new opportunities and drive innovative projects. The GSMA Connected Fintech and Commerce forum leads discussions, monitors fintech developments, and provides collaboration opportunities to build and deploy new solutions. This community prioritises supporting partners in exploring common interests, monitoring insights, and driving innovation.
Aviation
The GSMA Aviation Community collaborates on driving digital transformation in aviation, advancing automation, uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) craft, while prioritising safety and shaping the future of airspace regulations and technologies.
Connected Enablers
IoT
The GSMA IoT Community accelerates IoT growth through industry collaboration, optimised networks, and key enablers, offering resources, news and updates on global events shaping the connected future.
Identity and Data
The Identity and Data Community enables collaboration across the ecosystem, sharing best practices and driving mobile-led identity solutions to support digital transformation and unlock new business opportunities.
NTN and Satellite
The Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) Community unites mobile and satellite technologies, driving collaboration through the GSMA Foundry to integrate satellite communications with 5G and future 6G networks for real-world innovation.
Mobile AI Community
The Mobile AI Community aims to accelerate AI adoption in mobile, addressing the widening gap between rapid AI advancement and slower telecom implementation cycles. Global experts collaborate through action-oriented meetings to identify and resolve implementation barriers, focusing on network transformation while excluding customer-facing AI, internal business processes, LLM development and OSS/BSS implementations.
5G Future Community
The 5G Futures Community brings together international ecosystem participants in our mission to share the benefits and opportunities of 5G wireless technologies while also serving as a channel for identifying and addressing real-world challenges from the global market to 5G network adoption, deployment, interoperability and development. The community covers three key pillars of focus: 5G Standalone, 5G-Advanced and Complete 5G.
