A supporting technology like 5G is only one side of the coin when it comes to future connectivity. As demand for digital services increases, only an integrated ecosystem of operators, hyperscalers and clever service solutions will be able to meet the requirements of the digital future. This development gives rise to a whole new playing field questioning the traditional role of telcos.

Touching on connected industries examples, Falk Schröder explains how telcos can use 5G as a stepping stone towards their own transformation into a cloudified, more automated and disaggregated organization.

Falk Schröder is Managing Partner at T-Systems subsidiary Detecon International, heading its Network Technology division. He accompanies telecommunications network operators and industrial companies on their way to a connected technology landscape. Possible applications, functional scope, monetization strategies as well as the nationwide expansion of 5G are top topics for him, as are virtualization and the planning and construction of campus networks.
