Roundtable
What will it take for emerging 5G use cases to unlock additional value for enterprises and industry verticals? Hear from Telenor Research about lessons learned through the 5G-VINNI project and get Eurescom’s perspective on the drivers behind building a multinational, multivendor 5G environment to trial enterprise 5G use cases — along with successes so far and what’s ahead for the project. Also hear how the end-to-end orchestration and automation, provided by Nokia, supports 5G use case innovation at scale with the life-cycle management of slice-based services.
