ComTech Forum on Network Transformation for 5G

The ComTech Forum meets this November on the topic of Network Transformation in the context of 5G. Join together with 100+ members, telcos, vendors and startups to discover the changes in the network and new opportunities for the edge of the network as 5G progresses. ComTech Forum meetings are short, packed, interactive discussions with highly-focused networking and plenty of demos.

ABOUT THE MEETING TOPIC
5G will be defined by the creation of a heterogeneous “network of all networks.” A first-of-its-kind network that’s smart, agile, virtualized and software-defined.  A network that allows devices to rapidly access processing and analytic capabilities stored in the cloud. But to achieve that progress requires a strong foundation of Digital Network Transformation, which should be well underway now at leading network operators.

For our meeting, we'll discuss how 5G interacts and leverages past and recent Network Transformations such as:

• Digitization 
• Cloud
• Packet core
• Heterogeneous networks
• NFV
• SDN
• Self-Optimizing Networks
• Agile Development, DevOps
• Edge Computing

As these technical innovations erodes the boundaries between the physical and digital to deliver rich new experiences and valuable new services, 5G will reinvent industries with new business use cases, models, and players emerging in response to a shifting, ubiquitous mobile landscape powered by unlimited sums of data.

This meeting will discuss the interplay of Digital Network Transformation and 5G. What does it take to grow the fruit of digital transformation, manage and alter telecom networks with software?

Join Telecom Council's ComTech Forum and Intel to explore the work being done to prepare for 5G and the ways this work will enable coming solutions and services.
