How was MWC for you?

How was MWC for you? Some of the attendees we met felt it lacked sparkle. For us that wasn’t the point. This was a serious show, taking a serious look at real issues. Quite a lot of it was about how to turn technology into revenue, which for us is a refreshing change from drones, VR and robotics. The hype frills seem to be dropping away from 5G and the wireless industry is starting to concentrate on finding the real initial benefits to justify the investment anticipated.

However, there was also a feeling that right now there are simply too many options on the table. The technologies, techniques and associated acronyms have proliferated to the point where it’s not just difficult to make a choice, but tough to even understand the options.
