Extracting the full potential of 5G Standalone
The move to 5G Standalone is opening new possibilities for how networks are built and used. Operators are now moving beyond trials to consider where the technology can deliver real value, from enterprise networks to private connectivity.

This session looks at where 5G Standalone is today, what is working and what needs to happen next.
