Is the Network the Nexus of New Value Creation (and a New Reality)?
Marcus Weldon, President of Bell Labs and Corporate Chief Technology Officer, Nokia
We are entering an era that will be unlike any other in the history of digital networks, an era that will be as transformative as the first and second industrial revolutions which were driven by the deployment of large-scale physical networks.
A Perspective of Wireless Innovations in the Next Decade
Wen Tong, Huawei Fellow and CTO, Wireless Network, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
As we witness a global roll-out of 5G wireless, it is certain that 5G will unleash a new wave of revolutions in many aspects of our daily life and work. 5G will change the society.
