Webinar: 5G | Enabling Industrial Transformation & Workforce Optimization

DATE: MARCH 7 2024
TIME: 10:30AM - 11:30AM

Enterprises are transforming at a faster rate based on several factors such as changing market conditions, workforce shortages and technology advancement. In this webinar we will walk through how Private 5G can be a new technology enabler to optimize your enterprise workforce.

 Private 5G is complementary to existing network solutions (Wired, Wi-Fi, Public Cellular 4G/5G) and is intended to provide an additional connectivity option to solve incremental business challenges such as:

• Wireless Coverage – Indoor/Outdoor coverage to enhance network connectivity where Wi-Fi or Public Cellular is not meeting business requirements (Connected Worker, Remote Worker, Industrial Automation)
• Advanced Use Case Capabilities – Critical solutions that require specific quality of service (QoS) and performance (Latency, Throughput) such as Industrial Automation, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR)

Private 5G is the latest example of technology being a tool in the toolbox to help evolve the enterprise workforce. Ultimately the technology is an enabler for workforce optimization to enable a safe and optimized  workplace. The enablement & skilling of any technology to the workforce is the most critical component of the ultimate success of the enterprise.
