Recently, a group of like-minded individuals came together to discuss and map out an initiative that will accelerate the adoption of world-leading Wi-Fi, 5G, and convergent / interoperable services across carriers, enterprise and consumers. This meeting of the minds resulted in the launch of the Innovation Forum, led by the Wireless Broadband Alliance’s (WBA) CTO Group.
The forum consists of four pillars, including:
- Strategic Alignment: Set and outline the future direction of the forum and industry roadmap for the next decade to drive state-of-the-art networks and services.
- Global Diversity: A unique gathering of players across the wireless ecosystem and industry verticals, operators, hubs, infrastructure, chipset, and device vendors.
- Execution Capacity: Best-in-class program management supported by a team with vast experience in industry collaboration.
- Impactful deliverables: WBA members and industry verticals are uniquely represented and work together collaborating on resolving business-critical problems and create blueprints
The Innovation Forum is a unique gathering of industry technology leaders with the ambition of shaping the future of wireless and to accelerate the development of the industry roadmap – and industry stakeholders are invited to join!
