ITW 2025 — three days at National Harbor, one consistent message.

TW 2025 ran 5-7 May at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, National Harbor, Maryland. Largest annual gathering of the global wholesale-telecoms community, and the venue where most of the operator commercial conversations for the year get unblocked.

What was on every operator's slide

  • A2P fraud — specifically AI-grade detection, replacing rule-pack firewalls that haven't moved in three years.
  • 10DLC + toll-free reform in the US: the registration backlog and what it means for cross-border A2P.
  • Sender-ID governance and how operators are mirroring the MENA / India model into other markets.
  • Voice-AI: the move from outbound dialler to AI-led conversational agents, and where carrier voice fits.

What BroadNet brought to the booth

A live demo of the machine-learning SMS firewall, which was deployed across 18 operators worldwide as of MWC 2025. Plus the BroadNet × DialerBee story for outbound contact centres in 12 languages.
