Digital Leadership Summit: How will AI and analytics drive 5G revenue?

Successful 5G deployments require operations to think and work differently. In three years, mobile customers will undergo a radical change. There will be more machines than humans, 750% more traffic, and a diversity of new services, each with distinct performance requirements. Failing to meet them will impact 5G revenue and ROI.

Assuring success requires dynamic visibility. Tier-1 operators’ probing visions now call for insight into any individual, device, slice or service within 100ms—thousands of times faster and more granular than what’s possible today. AI-driven analytics is required to get the right data to orchestrators and automation platforms tasked with maintaining service level objectives.

This event will tap into industry and operator experts to learn about the strategies being deployed to realize this vision. It will cover the challenges they encountered, how they overcame them, and the journey ahead.

If you are interested in attending this event, please contact Iwona Hampson. Space is limited.
