MWC19: The Four Keys To Intelligent Connectivity

The scope of digital transformation sweeping across the globe is reflected in this year's MWC19 Barcelona (formerly Mobile World Congress) theme of Intelligent Connectivity – a term covering a range of topics such as Connectivity, AI, Industry 4.0, Immersive Content, Disruptive Innovation, Digital Wellness, Digital Trust and The Future. Taking place in Barcelona, February 25-28, 2019, this massive conference attracts over one hundred thousand attendees annually. Rather than be overwhelmed by the numerous new products on display, as well as the myriad presentations and promotional exhibits, here are four key pillars of intelligent connectivity that attendees can focus on to better grasp the big picture and overall implications of this year's conference. Connectivity will largely focus on the deployment of 5G technology. This much hailed new wireless technology will increase digital density, or the percentage of connected data that is used in a unit of activity, i.e., a unit of activity a country, a region, an industry, an organization or a business unit.
