A No-Nonsense Guide to 5G

Our newest series is “A No-Nonsense Guide to 5G,” which will explore the policy, technology and practical questions about 5G. They include what’s real and what’s hype, trusted partners, transformative apps in the enterprise, wireless infrastructure facilities, and continued modernization of the nation’s spectrum policies.

“While it’s true that some have over-promised what 5G will bring, it is undeniable that the next generation of wireless technology brings countless policy, standards and technology questions to the forefront,” said Broadband Breakfast Editor and Publisher Drew Clark.

“With ‘A No-Nonsense Guide to 5G,’ Broadband Breakfast brings its timely, topical and smart approach to the issues surrounding 5G.”

Broadband Breakfast Live Online’s “A No-Nonsense Guide to 5G” is sponsored by Samsung Electronics America.
