At the Industrial Wireless Forum, RCR Wireless News go beyond the hype to focus on real challenges. End-users don’t have a “5G problem”—they have operational challenges to solve. Rip-and-replace won’t work, Wi-Fi still matters and private 5G is only part of a much bigger puzzle, so coexistence is often the most realistic approach, shaped by economics, and environment, bridging OT and IT use cases to justify the investment. The question is: how can we simplify the complexity of integrating, managing, orchestrating and testing multi-network systems?

This forum brings together the full ecosystem—operators, OEMs, integrators, and end users—to assess the true state of industrial connectivity. Through real life case studies, we’ll explore the opportunities and limitations of private 5G, Wi-Fi, NTN, IP communication over 5G network, TSN and more. We look at how these technologies can be integrated into a unified architecture that supports diverse industrial use cases. We’ll examine how edge, cloud and AI are reshaping network design, and what it takes to scale, orchestrate, automate and manage complex, multi-network environments.

This is a forum for those navigating the messy middle of industrial transformation—where results matter more than marketing.
