About the summit
A robust and resilient network had been recognised as the cornerstone of 5G monetisation — but were networks truly ready? Achieving sustainable monetisation demanded a thoughtful approach to network readiness, laying a strong foundation to fully unlock the potential of 5G and the digital economy.
During the 5G Monetisation Summit at MWC Shanghai, we explored the critical steps involved in building scalable, resilient networks and the new capabilities required to meet the demands of 5G monetisation. We examined strategies across different markets, looking at how operators navigated deployment challenges, optimised networks with AI, and developed new capabilities to enable business transformation and position themselves for long-term profitability.
