Blockchain Prospects in Telecoms, IoT & Networking
Friday 12th June
part of Disruptive Technologies in Telco's & CSPs at London Tech Week
Workshop Modules
Can blockchain adoption make meaningful impacts on telecoms revenues, costs or operational effectiveness over the next few years? There are dozen s of distributed-ledger projects and initiatives already in play, and there is huge interest from all sectors of the telco, IoT and network vendor community. This training day will discuss not just the opportunities, but crucially also the state of adoption and pilots, the hows and whys behind applications, and the emerging telco blockchain landscape, all with a dose of realism to offset the hype.
