Wi-Fi Innovation: Connecting Our Digital World
WGC EMEA is the home of the largest Wi-Fi Technology event, and this year we highlight new standards, capabilities, innovations and ways for operators, enterprise organizations and cities to transform and manage their wireless business operations.
Topic Experts
The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) is co-locating with Network X for the fourth year running to bring the Wireless Global Congress EMEA, the home of the largest Wi-Fi technology event to Vienna. This year we are looking at how Wi-Fi Innovation is connecting our digital world – from cities to schools; from the office to remote working; stadiums to our high street stores and for all our connectivity needs at home – Wi-Fi is the fabric that connects us.
This October we will be examining the latest developments in next-generation Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7 and the important regulatory considerations for 6GHz spectrum. The event will showcase WBA OpenRoaming's transformative impact on connectivity, security and privacy, while exploring the convergence of 5G/6G and Wi-Fi and the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into network operations.
From operator managed Wi-Fi and enterprise security to smart cities, connected vehicles and the evolving smart home, we'll address the business opportunities and management considerations that are critical to operators as they optimise customer experience and prepare for the next decade of wireless innovation.
