Mobile World Congress preview
Manage episode 469985363 series 2877784
Mobile World Congress, the annual gathering of telecom industry players, has expanded to embrace a broad range of technology and this year’s event will bring together a broad range of vendors, telecom operators and industry leaders. The theme of convergence has seen real world impacts and Raul Castañon, Mohammed Hamza and Lynnette Luna return to discuss what they’re expecting to see with host Eric Hanselman. The rise of network API’s for security and location services looks to open the door to greater application integration. It’s something operators have been hoping for, but there are questions about how they’ll monetize it.
Many of the technologies that previewed in previous years are gaining traction. Open RAN technologies have matured and the ecosystem supporting them has expanded. There are still questions lingering about deployment timelines, but that seems to be shifting to a matter of when, rather than if. And, of course, AI is playing a role in much of what’s taking place in the exhibition halls.
