It has been two seemingly long years since the last in-person Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona. I had the good fortune to attend this year, and the show did not disappoint.

While Telecom is not a new vertical focus for Dell Technologies, I would argue it has not been a priority in the past. From my perspective, that changed this month at Dell’s virtual telecom event on June 9th. Not surprisingly, the underlying theme was 5G’s ability to bridge the unconnected and accelerate enterprise and service provider …

I write pretty extensively about private cellular networking. The platform is poised to accelerate digital transformation within enterprise information technology (IT) environments and connect the non-carpeted operational technology (OT) ones. For a quick explanation, IT typically refers to the computer hardware and software in the traditional office environment. OT, on the other hand, is involved …
