Networking Infrastructure To Accelerate Digital Transformation.

Businesses need to ensure they have the right infrastructure and technology in place before they can begin fully taking advantage of their data and becoming a true data centric enterprise.

In this new era, enterprise networking executives are not just keeping pace with technology but are leveraging it for strategic business advantage. Next generation enterprise wireless networks — including Private 5G, WiFi, Edge and more — are critical to achieve an advantage.

This period demands technical skills and visionary leadership where networks are seen as critical assets in achieving business objectives.

Enterprise network leaders need to plan for these technologies, not just upgrading from current systems but also considering how these advancements can drive business innovation.

This includes reevaluating network design, spectrum management, and security protocols to leverage these new capabilities fully.

These critical issues and more are covered at this Leadership Workshop. Designed for IT, OT and Senior-level enterprise executives who require a next generation network to handle AI workloads, enterprise automation, improved network security and more.

  • Understand the value and business case for private wireless networks
