Successful 5G deployments is about more than consumers and enterprises; it requires buy-in and accommodation from governments and regulators as well, Huawei Deputy Chairman Ken Hu said in the opening keynote of the 10th Mobile Broadband Forum hosted this week in Switzerland.
As an aside, Hu pointed out that Switzerland “is the ideal place to host this year’s event,” as there’s already fairly widespread commercial 5G availability from carriers Swisscom and Sunrise, the later of which using end-to-end Huawei kit. The nation’s third carriers, Salt, plans to launch sometime by year-end. More on that here.
