Much heralded as the telecom industry’s big breakthrough moment, 5G technology in fact poses opportunities across sectors. Offering higher speeds and greater reliability, next generation wireless connectivity is set to transform industries including industrial manufacturing, automotive, oil & mining and healthcare. 

Open networks and new wireless technology services will enable new and traditional companies to become players in the communications ecosystem, creating new opportunities and revenue models. 

Amid the trend towards network disaggregation and open interfaces, which new ecosystems will evolve? Which sectors are best placed to benefit from the transition to 5G? How will these rapid changes impact partnerships, economics, and strategies across the supply chain? How will organisations use private versus public networks?

The Financial Times, in partnership with ADI, presented this panel briefing for CIOs, CTOs, CFOs and COOs and digital transformation leaders from sectors including communications, manufacturing, automotive and oil & mining. Drawing on guests’ expertise across communications, we explored how companies across sectors are harnessing 5G to build powerful platforms for globally facing customers.
