The next generation Telecom network architecture needs to consider these multi-dimensional requirements during its definition. This network needs to be flexible, scalable, efficient and cloud native – all indicators pointing to a SW-defined E2E network. We will discuss key areas to consider when defining an E2E Cloud Network supporting AI & 5G, including the ability to support E2E analytics and identify gaps in the current definitions. An example deployment scenario will be used to provide some expected performance improvements with an advanced network.

In this workshop, we will take a closer look at one of the US automobile manufacturer and the comprehensive business case for deploying private 5G network at the factory based on multiple different deployment models including on-premises, on-cloud, managed service, AWS, and Azure.

Private Networks are probably going to use the public network to augment the service. That could be usinging the backbone or remote sites or even colocating on the towers. This session looks at the scenarios and considerations in building out the network.

Hey what about Wi-Fi? all this talk about LoRa and other solutions, but doesn't everyone use WiFi? This session looks at how integrating Wi-Fi is extending IoT.

Configuring a wireless network has been an intensive process, but we are at point where network configuration can be automated and optimized. The session looks at what has changed and how it eased the burden of building out a network.

Typically an Enterprise uses 4+ companies to develop an IoT solution. This sessions breakdown the work required and highlights the types of companies that have the required expertise.

The auctions were a success for the FCC. We saw Fixed Wireless Carriers, Utilities gain access to spectrum. What’s the next step for these companies? Is CBRS-based fixed wireless a last mile solution? How does CBRS fit into to the mix of private / public networks?

In this session, we'll look at interesting use cases for LoRaWAN in logistics, manufcturing, and the cold chain.
