Private mobile networks are becoming a critical utility for businesses to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve safety and security. The deployments are growing steadily; however, a patchwork of available wireless solutions makes it challenging for many enterprises to have a standardized approach to address the connectivity needs of diverse use cases. There are stiff technical and commercial challenges to their widespread adoption, demanding both service providers and vendors to rise to the occasion.
So, what can vendors do to simplify their customers' options? What are the primary decision factors for enterprises to deploy a private mobile network? And what will it take to scale private mobile network adoption? Let's find out.
Our guests for the podcast are Tom Wheeler, the former Chairman of the FCC and a board member of Alef, and Mike Mulica, the CEO of Alef.
Tom has led several efforts that resulted in the adoption of Net Neutrality, privacy protections for consumers, and increased cybersecurity, among other policies. As an entrepreneur, he started or helped start multiple companies offering innovative cable, wireless, and video communications services. He is the only person to be selected to both the Cable Television Hall of Fame and the Wireless Hall of Fame, a fact President Obama joked made him "the Bo Jackson of telecom." Presently, he is a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institute, a senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, and a board member of Alef and many other companies.
Mike Mulica has played a foundational role in pioneering the mobile internet and overseeing the release of game-changing products and technologies to global markets. His leadership at both public and private companies spans the likes of Motorola, Synchronoss, Openwave, Phone.com, Unwired Planet, FusionOne, RealNetworks, and Actility.
In our session today, we will discuss a few topics, such as:
- Inhibitors and drivers for private networks.
- Strategies to standardize planning and deployment of private networks.
- And many more.
So, let us welcome Tom Wheeler and Mike Mulica.
