MWC Las Vegas Summits

5G, Edge, Open RAN and AI have tremendous potential to transform all levels of government. For the US Government, multiple agencies, departments and personnel have recognized that for the US to lead the world on next generation technology, it is necessary to facilitate a healthy collaboration among technology suppliers, commercial stakeholders, government agencies, and regulatory bodies.  

The Government, Homeland Security & Defense Summit at MWC Las Vegas is a two-day educational program that brings together officials from the US Dept. of Defense, NTIA (Dept. of Commerce), the White House, FCC and other agencies deeply involved in the development of Next Generation mobile networks: 5G, 6G and Beyond. 

This series of sessions is designed to provide a future-looking view of the US Government’s leadership in 5G, 6G, open networks, spectrum sharing, Ad Hoc mobile networks and more.  

It also offers a timely and important opportunity for the commercial mobile sector to meet with Federal officials to understand their needs, expectations and vision for deploying complex high-bandwidth mobile communications and computing solutions for a wide variety of applications at military and government facilities worldwide. 

Join us as we delve into the role of 5G and connected technology in enabling the transformation of traditional manufacturing facilities into intelligent, connected ecosystems. During these sessions we will discuss how connectivity is facilitating the collection, transmission, and analysis of massive volumes of data in real-time, enabling predictive analytics, AI-driven insights, imperative for driving automation and robotics in the manufacturing process. We will also look at how these connected technologies are propelling Industry 4.0 ambition forward with the use of IoT-enabled sensors, robotics, AI and automation, to optimize manufacturing operations and workforce management, increasing productivity and safety, and providing faster delivery of customized, on-demand products to market. 

5G is enabling a world where everyone and everything can be intelligently connected – including passenger cars, public transit, freight and logistics (long-distance, middle-mile, and local delivery), service and maintenance vehicles, airports, mining and farming.

Car manufacturers increasingly provide connected car infotainment, safety, and utility services to create new digital revenue streams and enhanced customer experiences. Fleet managers and start-ups are leveraging IoT/Cellular plans to deliver new data services to vehicles-in-operation.

All stakeholders in the emerging hyper-connected automotive and transportation ecosystem will gain a future-view of the road ahead at the Connected Car Summit at MWC Las Vegas and how the mobile technology ecosystem will serve the entire transportation sector with the innovation that delivered the mobile and smartphone revolution.

Over the last decade there have been significant tech developments in the aviation industry, for instance, cutting edge avionics, AI-driven predictive maintenance systems, smart airports and advanced air mobility solutions, all of which will lead the way towards a smarter, safer and more sustainable aviation and airport system. At the heart of this transformation is the essential role of robust and pervasive wireless connectivity. This connectivity underpins the seamless flow of actionable data from various sensors and systems, facilitating proactive decision-making and operational enhancements through layered AI. This evolution not only benefits direct stakeholders but significantly improves the travel experience for billions of passengers, navigating them through a vastly more efficient and user-friendly environment. 

The Sports & Entertainment industry has always been big business, but that business is now working hand in hand with the connected world. As a CIO in the industry, you have seen advancements such as mobile edge computing, C-band expansion, and private networks over the past few years. This has had a huge impact on many areas including content creation and distribution, enabling the building of smart venues and arenas, and has created safer and quicker frictionless payments on site.  

Join the experts and your peers to discuss what's next when it comes to building of a more immersive world-class fan experience, improving fan engagement and delivering more lucrative and personalized experiences. 

As the demands for network speed, low latency and security continue to grow in enterprise environments, so too does the interest in Private Networks.  During this summit, we look to explore how Private Networks differ from traditional cellular networks, offering enhanced security, low latency, high bandwidth, and network slicing capabilities. We will also discuss the relationship with edge computing to digitally transform enterprise operations and industry 4.0. This tech can, and will enable secure critical communications and seamless connectivity in challenging environments, including indoor spaces, remote locations, and areas with high network traffic. Let’s explore! 

As traditional terrestrial networks face limitations in coverage, capacity, and scalability, we look for a new path, a path that can help overcome these confines. Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs), including satellite, aerial, and stratospheric platforms, can offer innovative solutions to bridge these connectivity gaps and enable seamless communication in remote, underserved, and challenging environments. While 2022 and 2023 were spent on LEO constellation service performance trials, along with making distribution deals between satellite groups and mobile operators, 2024 will see a transition to commercial launches and services. With this, we should finally begin to gain an understanding of how impactful satellite broadband can be to end users and operators, alike, however, the stakes are higher than ever before and competitive dynamics will shift into overdrive as the market finally becomes real.

The integration of AI in the enterprise sector has proven to be a game-changer, elevating operational efficiencies, enhancing customer interactions, and driving unprecedented services and product innovation across industries. However, as enterprises are continuously advancing AI in business, the challenge of implementing and scaling these solutions sustainably and ethically becomes increasingly critical. 

Join us at the Enterprise AI Summit, where we convene industry leaders, CIOs, Chief Data Officers, AI pioneers, and business strategists from across the globe to dissect the impact of AI in the enterprise world. This session will provide a deep dive into successful case studies, address the challenges associated with AI adoption in the business landscape, and cover the essential infrastructures required for successful AI implementation. Furthermore, we will also discover how the use of AI has the potential to revive telco revenue streams, helping them find their seat within the value chain.  

Today, telcos collect vast amounts of data related to devices and network operations; and with the aid of Network APIs, access to this valuable resource can be opened up, removing the complexities and fostering collaboration, innovation and monetization of this evolving landscape.  

Come and join our Open Gateway & DevCon Summit, designed to inspire innovation, spark creativity, and open the doors to the transformative potential of Network APIs. It’s a gathering of developers, by developers, for developers and attendees can expect to gain valuable insights, practical knowledge, and a clear understanding of how to enhance and deploy services more quickly across carrier networks via a single point of access to the world’s largest connectivity platform. 

The value delivered by digital transformation is massive and well-understood: productivity, operational efficiency, customer experience and service velocity gains, but it comes at a cost: energy consumption. This doesn’t mean that Sustainability is something enterprises can ignore. To the contrary it only escalates its strategic importance.   

Join us at the Powering Data Centre Summit, featuring an esteemed speaker panel including CIOs, Chief Digital Officers, Chief Network Architects, and the key stakeholders who are driving the digital revolution in enterprises. This summit will delve into the critical question: Why must enterprises embed sustainability strategies into their digital transformation journey? While we examine the impact of circularity initiatives and new network architecture, attendees will gain valuable insights as our speakers provide CXO-level guidance on incorporating sustainable practices into enterprise digital transformation to pave the way to foster a more resilient and responsible business landscape.
