AGBC November Monthly Event: 5G – What is it, why does it matter, what benefits does it offer?

Connectivity is creeping ever deeper into our lives and business operations, while business success increasingly depends on network-enabled product and service differentiation. 5G is a key factor for advances in digital transformation.  It will play a key role for businesses that want to address the growing customer demand for low-latency and very-high bandwidth product features and service experiences.

In his presentation Dan will explain what 5G is, why it is important, and when 5G will be available. He will also explore the opportunities and use-case scenarios that 5G offers for both industry and consumers as well as security issues.
