Customer demand for mobile apps, fitness trackers, connected cars, video streaming on demand, augmented and virtual reality are driving technology disruption across all industries. Communications Service Providers (CSPs) have responded with the virtualization of everything through NFV, SDN, and on the future horizon 5G to meet this explosive demand for immersive and always-connected services. This panel will discuss the transformational steps a CSP should take now to be better positioned along a monetization path for 5G today and into the future.
 
This live debate will shed light on the biggest transformation issues being faced in deploying 5G while simultaneously driving down costs and maintaining margins. Panellists discuss how to get started on 5G today by deploying NFV and SDN from the core to the edge.
 
In this TelecomTV Super Panel, sponsored by Intel and Hewlett Packard Enterprise we examine:

• What use cases can be identified that will justify the investment required to build out 5G?
• What are the vertical markets that will generate the quickest RoI for 5G investments?
• What are the unique attributes of 5G that will enable these new business value propositions and generate RoI for CSPs?
• How can the CSP better work with the industry verticals and OTT providers to ensure that 5G delivers on its promises?
