Webinar: Why wait for 5G?

The mobile industry is always running toward the next “big thing” whether it be unlicensed LTE, small cells or 5G. At the same time there is currently a strong “Wi-Fi First” trend among users and service providers.

Wi-Fi will clearly work in concert with 5G and Wi-Fi delivers the capacity and latency today that 5G is promising to deliver tomorrow. Can Wi-Fi be a testbed for future 5G services?

There are currently more reasons than ever why mobile operators need to have a Wi-Fi strategy.

Topics to be discussed include:

• To what extent does latency effect the user experience?
• Can Wi-Fi be a testbed for future 5G services?
• 4G didn’t make Wi-Fi redundant. Will it be any different with 5G?
• Is the Wi-Fi First trend “Uberization” of telecom?
• How big of a threat is Wi-Fi First combined with eSIM and how will eSIM effect churn?
• How can Wi-Fi help operators to reduce churn?
• Where is the money in Carrier Wi-Fi?
• Why is Venue Wi-Fi important? (operator-managed Guest Wi-Fi to venues and enterprises is important)
