5G is just around the corner and many believe the next generation of networks will transform the world in unimaginable ways. From enabling live streaming to driverless cars, 5G will facilitate many technological innovations. Businesses prioritizing customer experience know that fast, reliable network performance can drive improved order fulfilment, payments and customer service. Getting the network “supply chain” right has never been more important because it provides the foundation for digital transformation.

In this episode of the ISG Smarktalks™ podcast, Barry Matthews talks with ISG network experts Phil Hugus and Jon Harrod about what the 5G future holds for us. They discuss what it will mean for the network sourcing market – both for service providers and their customers – and the role 5G will play in transforming businesses. Of course, any new technology at the top of the CIO’s agenda and with implications this big also comes with a lot of hype. Tune in to hear the discussion.
