Session Abstract:
Mobility is now a data problem. This CoE panel shows how to combine private 5G, Wi-Fi 7, satellite-NTN, and edge computing to keep vehicles, assets, and crews connected with deterministic performance. We’ll unpack patterns for V2X, EV charging, ports/airports, and logistics; security and compliance; and a pragmatic way to measure ROI—downtime avoided, energy saved, safety incidents reduced.
