The 5G playbook – What Do you Need to Deploy 5G?
5G may already be available in most of the U.S., but there are still many small operators that are in the beginning of their 5G transitions. This panel discussion will talk about the spectrum, regulatory challenges, infrastructure needs and investment requirements to build a 5G network. In addition, it will discuss some of the unknowns that we are still learning about 5G, such as why operators have failed to fully monetize 5G at this point.
Panel participants include:

Mike Irizarry, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, UScellular (panelist)
Neil Shah, Chief Product Officer, Wavelo (panelist)
