From edge compute to private networks and the future of fiber, Mirko digs into what we can expect in the future of connectivity and its benefits not only for the individual but also for the enterprise and beyond.

One such case is 5G Edge, where content can live nearer to the end user, making processes quicker and new applications possible in real-time scenarios. In addition to the benefits of this edge approach, Voltolini digs deeper during the interview on the impact of cybersecurity on today’s enterprise networks, the promise of private wireless and even how AI is shaping, and radically changing, the way that networks not only are deployed but are managed and optimized.
