The Next Generation of Wireless Technology, referred to as “4G”, is beginning to enter the market with lightning fast speeds up to 100 times today’s wireless networks, the flexibility to handle any service voice, data, an video using Internet Protocol, and the ability to interconnect an ecosystem of more than 10 billion smart wireless devices such as handsets, ereaders, gaming consoles, navigation aids, appliances, and sensors. This new level of performance brings wireless on par with the broadband in our homes and offices, opening up a whole new set of rich applications for mobile devices such as video conferencing, remote healthcare, multiplayer gaming, and virtual shopping. A six to ten fold increase in speed compared to 3G is already commercially available in selected cities in the US and around the World. This new high performance “wireless cloud” could fundamentally change the way we live and work and cause companies to rethink their business model and processes to capture value from the new “Internet of Things”. This talk will focus on where the early disruptions are likely to occur and how enterprises will need to adapt their overall strategic and business models to stay ahead of the 5th Wave.
