Live Demonstrations
NaaS Accelerator Live Demonstrations
Each NaaS Accelerator Live initiative brings together participating companies from the service provider and technology provider parts of the NaaS ecosystem to show how MEF work is being utilized and extended to create essential building blocks for tomorrow’s NaaS offerings.
This year’s demonstrations highlight MEF work in the areas of AIOps and Transacting Edge Compute Services between providers.
Enterprise Demonstrations
MEF APIs are accelerating enterprise connectivity transformation by bridging networks and applications—enabling enterprise automation systems to interact with service provider networks to enhance enterprise real-time responsiveness and service continuity.
This year, the Enterprise Leadership Council will demonstrate MEF’s new LSO CIM Service API, a transformative solution addressing one of the most critical gaps in enterprise connectivity management.
2024 NaaS Accelerator Live Demonstrations
This year’s demonstrations will explore these areas:

Silent Comet
AIOps
Silent Comet aims to revolutionize troubleshooting processes and expedite Root Cause Analysis (RCA) resolution without relying on specialized network expertise. It explores how to augment the output of Large Language Models (LLM) with external domain-specific knowledge using Retrieval Augmentation Generation (RAG).
By targeting various domains, whether utilizing the same or different technology stacks for comparison, we establish best practices for building RAG-based solutions, including the evaluation of data sources' usefulness for specific domains, methods for measuring solution quality, and strategies for evolving the knowledge base without compromising solution quality.
- Catch a preview of Silent Comet on Tuesday at 12:50. See the Day 2 Conference Agenda.
- Visit the Silent Comet Innovation Station any time to watch Silent Comet in action in a NaaS Accelerator Live demonstration; Innovation Stations stay open throughout the conference!
2024 NaaS Accelerator
Hot Mongoose
Transacting Edge Compute Services
As the result of the growth in AI edge and 5G deployments, the telecommunications industry has been paying more attention to edge computing as a potential value-add service driving new revenues for both the telcos and cloud providers. Increasingly, enterprises need a larger edge computing footprint from their preferred service provider. Enabling retail service providers to supplement their own telco edge coverage with edge computing services from wholesale partners is the obvious solution.
The challenge is that business automation between telco edge operators is not currently based on open, standardized APIs with standardized edge computing data schemas. Hot Mongoose brings together some of the world's leading telco edge providers to reach consensus on using open, standardized LSO APIs together with a MEF-endorsed data schema describing the required edge computing service.

Great work with the Accelerator program. GNE 2023 was a total success!
2024 Enterprise Demonstrations
This year’s enterprise demonstration will explore:
2024 Enterprise Leadership Council Demonstration
LSO CIM Service API
Enterprises today depend on complex, multi-provider networks to connect locations, cloud services, and critical infrastructure. Traditionally, connectivity service impairment and maintenance updates are relayed via email or non-standard APIs, leading to delays and operational disruptions. MEF’s LSO CIM Service API streamlines this process by automating and standardizing notifications, enabling enterprises to make faster, better-informed decisions.
This demonstration, featuring service providers AT&T, Prodapt, and Verizon, alongside enterprises Bloomberg, UPMC, and Williams-Sonoma, illustrates how MEF standardization simplifies access to vital information for enterprises.
- Learn more at the panel discussion on Monday, 14:20–14:50, LSO for Enterprises: Business APIs and New Notification Services. See the Day 1 Conference Agenda.
