The program also features case studies and technical presentations on key industry topics such as: cybersecurity, private 5G networks, drones for critical comms, smart city infrastructure planning, alongside standards and regulatory updates.

Also featuring will be pre-conference workshops, training courses and industry ‘Town Hall’ sessions presented by ACCF/TCCA and ARCIA.
