AboutThe leading 5G infrastructure event in North America, convening executives from commercial carriers, fixed and mobile network operators, enterprises and their infrastructure partners to invest, design, deploy and operate next generation public and private 5G networks.
Participate:
The future is 5G, and it’s already happening now.

Position yourself as an industry leader in the most exciting race to 5G.
Infrastructure requirements are going to be massive. I would argue that we are going to need 10 times the infrastructure versus where we are in 4G.Marc Ganzi, CEO-elect, Colony Capital, Inc.
