Our demos at MWC 2025: Cyber Security & AI, 5G Drones, and post-quantum cryptography

During Mobile World Congress 2025, Telefónica Tech is actively participating in the interactive demos available at Telefónica’s booth (Hall 3 – 3K31), inviting all visitors to join us in envisioning the future.

Telefónica's booth spans 960 square meters, with one third of the space devoted to three key demos showcasing our Cyber Security solutions through Telefónica Tech's Digital Operations Center (DOC); our 5G connectivity capabilities combined with Open Gateway and their application within our comprehensive drone solution; and how post-quantum cryptography plays a crucial role in safeguarding networks and data against the challenges posed by quantum computing.

Telefónica Tech’s DOC capabilities demo

Our Digital Operations Center (DOC) demo offers visitors a glimpse into our cybersecurity experts' daily work. This demonstration highlights the advanced monitoring and operational capabilities that Telefónica Tech provides 24/7 through our Digital Operations Center (DOC), which has offices in Madrid and Bogota and operates in tandem with our global network of Security Operations Centers (SOC).

Visitors to the DOC demo can participate in a simulated cybersecurity incident, such as a ransomware attack.

This hands-on experience allows them to engage in the resolution of multiple simulated incidents, demonstrating Telefónica Tech’s ability to anticipate, prevent, and respond to cyber threats in real time.

One of the key aspects of this demonstration is the dual role of AI. This showcases its use both as an offensive tool for cyberattacks and as a defensive mechanism for threat mitigation.

Participants can witness AI-driven attack strategies and explore how AI-powered defense mechanisms counteract these threats in real time.

Quantum-Safe Networks demo

We are also participating in the Quantum-Safe Networks demo, showcasing innovative solutions to mitigate quantum threats, equipping businesses with tools to tackle today’s challenges while preparing for quantum computing's future.

Quantum-Safe Networks provides post-quantum cryptography solutions to protect private networks, IoT devices in critical environments, and eSIMs in open networks.

At Telefónica’s booth, we demonstrate real-world use cases for Quantum-Safe technology, including building secure private networks with post-quantum encryption—even underwater; protecting open networks in the utilities sector; securing eSIMs and their associated data; and connecting critical IoT devices with post-quantum encryption through Telefónica Tech’s Kite platform, which enables real-time remote monitoring and control of devices from anywhere in the world.

Open Gateway 5G Drone demo

The Open Gateway 5G Drones demo combines our comprehensive drone service with Telefónica’s high-performance 5G network and Open Gateway APIs. This integration ensures drone safety and efficiency in airspace, in line with European U-Space regulations.

This demonstration highlights real-world applications, such as transporting medical supplies, preventing wildfires, and managing logistical operations.

The demo underscores the importance of 5G connectivity, IA, and an advanced remote control center that supervises drone operations in real time.

Our comprehensive drone solution redefines aerial mobility—enabling safe route planning and optimizing operations with a scalable and sustainable approach.

AI-powered video analytics

For another consecutive year, Telefónica Tech has deployed C2RO’s AI-powered video analytics technology at Telefónica’s booth. This real-time presence tracking system utilizes AI-driven video analysis to anonymously gather insights into visitor activity without biometric data.

During the MWC 2025 opening session, Telefónica’s Chairman and CEO, Marc Murtra, emphasized the critical role of the telecommunications sector in driving Europe’s technological progress. He highlighted the potential of next-generation ultra-broadband networks and the opportunities created by cloud-based architectures. However, he warned that only economies of scale and increased capacity will enable "dramatic improvements in Europe."

Murtra pointed to excessive market fragmentation, overregulation, and insufficient sector profitability as key obstacles hindering Europe’s technological growth—especially when compared to more favorable regions such as the US, the Middle East, and Asia, which foster innovation and support the growth of technology companies leading to digital transformation.
