The promise of advanced wireless connectivity—spanning 5G, edge computing, IoT, and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)—is transforming enterprise networks and operations across industries. However, while there are numerous examples of innovation, they don’t always capture the true state of adoption across the average enterprise.

To bridge this gap, GSMA Intelligence conducted one of the industry’s most comprehensive surveys of enterprise IT buyers, uncovering the real story behind the adoption and utilisation of these technologies:

Which connectivity solutions are enterprises leveraging most effectively?
Which technologies remain underutilised?
Which verticals are leading the charge in deploying advanced connectivity, and which ones are struggling?
What lessons can be learned from enterprises in different regions and industries?

Listen to Peter Jarich, Head of GSMA Intelligence as he delved into the findings from the latest research, offering actionable insights and strategies to help your enterprise make the most of these cutting-edge technologies.
