Smartphone ownership is near saturation levels for many consumer segments, yet demand for mobile connectivity is on the rise. The “Internet of Things,” wearables, smart cities and mobile payments represent just a few of the drivers increasing the need for precise, reliable service. As self-driving cars become the norm, there will be even less room for error. Telecom providers must find new ways to increase coverage, capacity and quality. Plans for expansion, optimization and new “5G” networks, and the ability to capture, analyze and access large volumes of data becomes a distinct competitive advantage.
