Peter Vetter (Head of Access Lab, Nokia Bell Labs, USA)

Abstract

In this talk, we will present how the future digital fabric will create time by the automation of everything. We will discuss how this transformation will be driven by enterprise applications and why low latency will be absolutely critical. This leads to the vision of a new edge cloud integrated network architecture.
