The Small Cell Forum, the global organization committed to supporting agile, low-cost mobile infrastructure through small networks, has released details of Small Cells World Summit 2022, which will take place live in London May 24-25, followed by virtual summits in June.
The conference brings together mobile network operators, neutral hosts, enterprises, the public sector, vendors, analysts, policymakers, and regulators. The agenda boasts leading speakers sharing innovation, best practices, and debating some of the industry’s hottest topics, including enterprise connectivity, network delivery, flexible and shared infrastructure, and O-RAN technologies and strategies.
A special workshop will also take place, focused on 5G private networks – the opportunities, challenges, and regulatory implications. This will include contributions from policymakers and enterprises from across Europe, and representatives from the wireless industry.
Event sponsors have been announced and are available on the website, including Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Ericsson, and Picocom. Chair of SCF, Prabhakar Chitrapu, PhD, said: “The unique characteristic of SCWS is that its agenda considers the future of enterprise connectivity and digital transformation of industries through the lens of real-world requirements and learnings from commercial deployments.
“We’ve had incredible support from our industry and our sponsors, who have got behind this event because they understand the unique benefit of fostering the much-needed conversation between technologists, business professionals, and regulators affecting the success of the whole eco-system. After two years of enforced absence courtesy of Covid, I’m looking forward to finally having the opportunity to meet and network once again with colleagues at this two-day event in London.”
Simon Fletcher, SCF Chief Strategy Officer, added: “While at the conference we consider the implications of 5G and 6G evolution, SCWS 2022 is not a blue-sky event. It’s much more grounded – commercially focused on the technology and business models that can deliver outstanding connectivity for enterprise, industry and consumers and service models that can be monetized by our industry. We’re also pleased to be hosting a private networks workshop, supported by the DIT, DCMS, and FCDO, because again this focuses on how private network technologies need to evolve to address enterprise demand and the role policymakers can play as enablers.”
SCWS London will also host the SCF Small Cell Awards Gala Dinner on the first evening, a networking event to celebrate the achievements of the industry. The conference will include an exhibition area, main conference stage, break-out areas, networking, and drinks.
To bring the conference to a global audience, and for those who are not able to travel to the UK, SCWS London will be followed by two exclusive regionally focused Virtual Summits, on June 8 for Asia and June 9 for the U.S. The virtual platform will host all the recorded sessions from London, and will be complemented by dedicated regional-specific sessions and panel discussions, as well as online exhibitors and virtual networking.
Delegate tickets to London include free access to the virtual summits, or virtual passes can be purchased separately. Registration is open. Delegate passes to all summits, and gala dinner tickets can be purchased online now, visit www.smallcells.world
