POST-EVENT REPORT

WHERE WIRELESS, NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE AND DATA CENTRE LEADERS COLLABORATE FOR 5G DEPLOYMENT

Presented by:

Lead sponsors

In preparation for the highly anticipated deployment of commercial 5G across the world, companies across a vast selection of telecommunications sectors are strategising and prepping for network upgrades on an unprecedented scale. While the commercial opportunities post deployment are looking very exciting and almost endless, to an industry challenged by fierce competition, the practical aspect of delivering an all encompassing network is a complicated and expensive one. To fully realise the opportunities in 5G cross-industry collaboration is crucial. 2019 marked the first year of the Communications Infrastructure Summit - the first strategic industry meeting and debate for global infrastructure leaders to solve challenges aligned with 5G deployment. We worked in partnership with BroadGroup, Capacity Media, Layer123 and TowerXchange to deliver a unique gathering of fibre, wireless, software, hardware and data centre companies which provided first hand insight on cross-industry collaboration and convergence.
