Getting from 4G to 5G: Industry and Municipal Challenges at the Local Level

Wireless technologies have become a fundamental part of daily life, but the increased demand to place cellular sites closer to populated areas creates new challenges for both the wireless industry and local governments. In this online interview with David Witkowski, founder of Oku Solutions and the co-chair of IEEE Future Networks initiative’s deployment working group, he answers questions about what city planners and public works officials need to know, why industry needs to understand the complex situation local governments are in, what role IEEE Future Networks plays in 5G technology globally, and more.

For a deep dive on these issues, register for Witkowski’s 2-part course, “Bridging the 4G/5G Gap: Telecommunications Roadmap for Implementation.” To learn more about IEEE Future Networks and the International Network Generations Roadmap, visit the FNI website.
