Built for 5G and Network Strategists Like You
Your 5G Roadmap Runs on Fixed Infrastructure. That Conversation Happens Here.
Most wireless conferences stop at the RAN. ISE EXPO is where 5G and edge strategists come to work through the fixed-network infrastructure their entire roadmap depends on.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You're responsible for evolving the mobile network toward 5G SA, 5G Advanced, and the early groundwork for 6G. You think in terms of densification, slicing, automation, and edge compute—and you know that none of it executes in isolation. RAN densification requires fiber backhaul. Edge compute requires power and connectivity at scale.
If 5G architecture, RAN planning, mobile strategy, or edge deployment is your domain, this track gives you the fixed-network half of the conversation your other conferences skip.
WHAT YOU'RE SOLVING IN 2026
- Monetizing 5G investments with real enterprise and consumer use cases
- Integrating multi-vendor ecosystems and cloud partnerships without losing performance
- Balancing RAN densification, fiber timing constraints, and cost
- Maturing 5G SA deployments and activating commercial network slicing
- Preparing MEC sites and transport infrastructure for ultra-low-latency application requirements
YOU'LL LEAVE WITH
- Strategic guidance on navigating 5G SA evolution while aligning infrastructure investments with long-term network value
- Technical perspective on applying 5G transmission techniques to wired infrastructure—unlocking value from what you already own
- A grounded read on where AI, automation, and convergence are creating real competitive separation through 2030
- Insight into how AI data center demand is reshaping fiber and power requirements, and what it means for your transport and edge roadmap
- Cross-domain connection with the fixed-network engineers, your 5G strategy depends on
