This report is available to those subscribed to the Mobile Operators and Networks, Digital Consumer, IoT & Enterprise, Spectrum or Fixed, TV and Convergence modules.
MWC Las Vegas 2024 saw three days of meetings, demos, keynotes and engaging content. Some 300 exhibitors, sponsors and partners attended, alongside approximately 6,000 people from around 90 countries. Over 42% of attendees represented ‘enterprise and adjacent industries’, in line with the show’s transformation from a broad, mobile ecosystem event to one centered on enterprise digital transformation powered by 5G and mobile technologies.
While the show’s focus has evolved, a constant from previous iterations was the delivery of diverse insights and market messages. Beyond the broad enterprise 5G theme, three areas of insight stood out: AI, IoT and non-terrestrial network (NTN) development.
