As the world steadily embraces the adoption of 5G technology, operators in Latin America are embarking on a deliberate journey to gradually phase out their 2G and 3G networks. This transformation has profound consequences for businesses and consumers.
Faced with these challenges, operators in Latin America are confronted with the urgent need to discontinue their 2G and 3G networks while reallocating precious resources and spectrum to 5G. However, this may come at a cost in terms of roaming revenues and future agreements with partners. Understanding the potential impacts of transitioning to 5G on their roaming business will be crucial to the final outcome for the operators.
This event is specifically designed for mobile operators in Latin America. It is designed to equip them with the essential tools and strategies needed to navigate this transition effectively. Attendees will learn the benefits of implementing high-quality 5G roaming solutions and understand how to bridge the transition gap between 3G and 5G with 3G to VoLTE roaming solutions.
This event will provide operators with the knowledge on how to prepare for this evolution, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for their devices and services throughout the process.
