Smart Cities
“With billions of ‘people & things’ becoming
increasingly connected, the need to combine the potential of unlicensed
and licensed wireless services has become an
imperative for the operators, cities, high-
density venues and players focused on key
market opportunities such as Smart Cities, IoT, Big
Data, Converged Services and 5G.
The WBA Vision 2020 harnesses our experience of creating seamlessly interconnected wireless services in new and emerging areas.”
