Overview

In an era defined by connectivity, private enterprise cellular/private 5G networks have emerged as the cornerstone of innovation and growth. More importantly, it’s a disruptive technology that democratizes both access to and the cost of cellular spectrum to empower virtually any organization to deploy and benefit from one of these networks.

For today’s SIs, it is critical to have up-to-date information about the technology behind private cellular networks as well as the business case for adopting advanced connectivity.

This Bootcamp is designed to provide more than a general overview of the private wireless opportunity. You will take away a newfound knowledge about the networking elements as well as how to communicate value to your existing customer.
This is the first step for the SI to take to take advantage of the interest in private wireless/private cellular to unlock new value for your clients and new revenue opportunities for your company.
