Connected Spaces
Manufacturing is emerging as one of the most promising growth markets for in-building wireless. Modern factories depend on reliable, low-latency connectivity to coordinate robots, automated guided vehicles, sensors and production systems across large, metal-heavy facilities. This session explores how manufacturers are using private 5G, CBRS, Wi-Fi and neutral-host systems to support automation, and what it takes to design networks that meet industrial reliability and security requirements. Panelists will share deployment case studies, discuss business models and funding, and examine the role of edge compute on the factory floor. Attendees will learn where the manufacturing opportunity is largest and how to win it.
