Tony Melone, EVP and CTO of Verizon, highlighted three areas that he sees as critical for the future development of 4G technology \u2013 Internet of Things (IoT), unlicensed LTE (WiFi) and Interoperability. Commenting on the area of interoperability, he said that \u201cthis is one where it\u2019s core to our industry, it\u2019s what our industry has done for years, but it\u2019s an area where we are lagging, especially with LTE\u201d. He added that \u201cwe need LTE data roaming, we need that seamless capability we love, and we need it to happen quickly. It ties back to this ubiquity and the importance of this global standard\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere at the event, Jibe Mobile was demonstrating its cloud-based hosted end-to-end solution for RCS \/ joyn.
