5G Enterprise Networks

Unlike previous “G”s, 5G is very much aimed at the enterprise market. With a whole range of new capabilities from low-latency connectivity to service-level guarantees 5G will, for the first time, met the stringent quality and performance requirements for enterprise networking.

But this does not mean that 5G operators will have the enterprise mobile market to themselves. Across the world governments are allocating new spectrum to enterprise to build their own private LTE and 5G networks themselves. They may recruit mobile operators to build and operate these networks themselves. But they are just as likely to work with systems integrators and technology vendors directly.

During this highly interactive 3-day programme we will explore the options and opportunities of private networks for the enterprise. We will investigate different network models and approaches for partnering with different players across the network, computing and devices landscape and assist you to make the most informed commercial technology decisions best suited for your enterprise.

You will have the opportunity to consolidate all your learning into a 5G Enterprise “Business Model Canvas” allowing you to build your strategy and roadmap live in the workshop and ready to present for rapid traction on return to the business.
