25 years of telecoms and tapas: Cerillion returns to MWC25

Cerillion will be back in Barcelona next month for MWC25, the telecoms industry’s flagship annual event – join us to discuss all your BSS/OSS challenges, plus demos of our latest Composable Self Service and GenAI solutions.
Cerillion is once again heading to Barcelona for MWC25 for another year of telecoms and tapas at the industry’s biggest annual conference.
Every year, over a hundred thousand industry figures representing thousands of businesses descend on Barcelona for four days of thought leadership and networking.
As Cerillion marks its 25th birthday this year, we’ve been looking back at the company’s history, of which MWC (or GSM World Congress as it was once known) has been a regular fixture – we’ve been attending MWC since we started, and exhibiting for the last 20 years.
In that time, MWC has been the site of calls for Catalan independence, a two-year shutdown due to COVID, and all the latest new and exciting product launches. All this has been against a backdrop of emerging urban technologies, which have seen Barcelona become one of the world’s leading smart cities – though as some would argue, this hasn’t always been for the benefit of the city and its residents.
Despite this, in all that time, the Sagrada Família still hasn’t been finished – hopefully we’ll witness its completion in 2026!
We’ve dug through the depths of the Cerillion archive for some memories of MWCs past:











In all these years, we’ve learned a thing or two about how to make the most of the event – check out our MWC survival guide for some sagely advice from our team.
Reinventing self-service
At this year's event, we’re presenting our vision for the future of BSS/OSS.
Previously, CSPs were faced with a choice between fast but inflexible off-the-shelf products or heavily customised bespoke solutions with expensive and lengthy deployments. Now, our next-gen Composable Self Service module provides the best of both worlds, following a user-centric design based on a new adaptable UI framework that includes robust, no-code digital experience (DX) composition.
Our GenAI-powered Enterprise Product Catalogue lets you build, test and deploy new products and packages using text, voice and image recognition to accelerate time-to-market, automate key business processes and enhance the user experience.
Underpinning all this is our recently-awarded Ready for ODA status and our Platinum-certified TM Forum Open APIs, enabling seamless integration and interoperability with your other BSS/OSS applications.
