The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), the industry association focused on driving next generation Wi-Fi and its role in Public Wi-Fi services, Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Converged Services, Smart Cities and 5G, is pleased and excited to be attending AfricaCom 2015 next week (November 17-19). Taking place in Cape Town, South Africa, this prestigious event is the largest of its kind in Africa, and brings together leaders from all corners of the digital ecosystem.
With the WBA currently in the midst of its Vision 2020 initiative, and with the Connected City Advisory Board coming off of its inaugural meeting at last month’s Wi-Fi Global Congress in San Jose, having a strong presence at AfricaCom is just one more way that the WBA is continuing to establish itself as a leader in the ecosystem.
“I’m very excited to be attending AfricaCom next week, on behalf of the entire WBA,” said Shrikant Shenwai, WBA CEO.
“As our ecosystem travels the road to 2020, the WBA will continue to act as an industry leader. With Africa taking the necessary steps to becoming a much stronger connected continent, we are proud to help in any way that we can.”
