TALK
Much has been said about the key technical attributes of 5G, but this webinar focused on the real-world impact of 5G for consumers, for business and for society as a whole, with examples from all over the globe. It also took a look into the near future, what’s coming next (e.g. 5G Advanced, 6G) and what it will take to complete the vision from investment, enabling legislation and of course spectrum allocation, as we look towards the
ITU World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 (WRC-23).
