IES 2020 Street and Area Lighting Conference

Advanced 4G and 5G networks serve both handsets and machine-to-machine communications for smart cities and the Internet of Things, creating a technology foundation for numerous services and products.  Practical deployment of these networks requires dealing with political, social, economic, and regulatory hurdles that no previous technology has faced. This session will discuss the strategies and tactics used by the Wireless Communications Initiative, a program at the non-profit Joint Venture Silicon Valley dedicated to convening, facilitating trust and dialog, and educating regional stakeholders about wireless technologies and public policy.
