Send us a text

At MWC Las Vegas 2024, the absence of major operators and the emphasis on enterprise solutions signaled a shift in the industry. While the hype surrounding private networks generated significant interest, the scarcity of new spectrum and the decline in Capex raised concerns about the industry’s future trajectory. As expected AI was primarily discussed in the context of spectrum sharing and efficiency, with limited practical applications in call centers and network optimization.
Earl Lum of EJL Wireless joins Leonard Lee of neXt Curve to recap this year's MWC Las Vegas show and to share and discuss the highlights and the key takes from the premiere mobile wireless industry event in the Americas.

Earl & Leonard discuss the following topic that mattered from Mobile World Congress Las Vegas 2024:

• What has MWC Las Vegas become? How did it get here? (2:20)
• MWC Las Vegas 2024 in a nutshell according to Earl (4:56)
• The case for rural Open RAN opportunities (7:55)
• The big themes of MWC Las Vegas 2024 (10:34)
