Connected Britain 2026: Scaling Telecom Partner Networks

On 9-10 September, Sonalake joined industry leaders and technology innovators in London for Connected Britain 2026 to explore the developments shaping the future of the UK telecoms sector.

A central theme across the event was how operators can move beyond traditional models to build dynamic, scalable ecosystems. Increasingly, delivering connectivity services involves multiple organisations, each with its own products, commercial relationships and operational processes. Unlocking the value of these B2B2X ecosystems takes more than strategic ambition. Operators need ways to coordinate activities across partners without introducing additional complexity every time a new network, service or relationship is added.

At Sonalake, we engineer the core BSS and software foundations that bring these complex partner networks to life. Our focus is on making it easier for operators to work together, managing the commercial relationships and automating the processes that connect them.

AI also has an increasingly important role to play as these ecosystems become more complex. But for AI agents to operate effectively across multiple partners and systems, they need reliable commercial data, well-defined business rules and controlled access to operational processes. These are precisely the foundations that a modern BSS platform should provide.

Throughout the two days at Booth M35, our team delivered live demonstrations of SwitchedOn Fibre, giving visitors a firsthand look at how modern BSS architecture can help eliminate operational bottlenecks. We had valuable discussions with telecom operators focused on improving operational efficiency, automating customer journeys and scaling partner revenue.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth for a demo and a chat. If you missed us in London and would like to see SwitchedOn Fibre in action or explore how we can help you scale, get in touch with our team.
