The GSMA 5G Industry Challenge

The GSMA 5G Industry Challenge is calling for case study submissions of 5G best practices

The Challenge is designed to recognise the best 5G solutions for key early adopter markets by encouraging industry leaders to participate in an open global communications campaign. The challenge will run throughout 2022, feature in key industry events and communications and culminate in a challenge showcase at MWC Barcelona in February 2023. The objective is to encourage the sharing of 5G solution best practice, the demonstrable value of 5G and the growth in 5G global adoption. The case studies will be evaluated by how successfully they demonstrate the value of the solution through real life measurements such as saving resources, generating additional revenue, providing social benefits.
