Panel Discussion at MWC Barcelona 2026

Our CEO, Anju Day, recently participated in a panel discussion hosted by Rakuten Symphony at MWC Barcelona 2026. The session brought together industry leaders to evaluate the readiness of Private 5G for the enterprise sector.


The Requirement for Predictability

During the panel, the conversation turned toward the specific technical demands of industrial environments. Anju addressed the critical nature of 5G radio performance on the manufacturing floor, noting that for industrial clients, consistency is the primary metric for success.

Rather than focusing solely on peak speeds, Anju emphasized that the value of Private 5G lies in its reliability and its ability to support specific corporate goals.

Key Insights from Anju Day

“Customers want predictable performance,” Day stated. “That’s what they want from private 5G on the manufacturing floor. And that’s very important to them because they… want to tie [network metrics] to the business outcome.”

Bridging Tech and Business

Anju’s contribution highlighted a vital shift in the industry: the move away from viewing 5G as a standalone technical achievement and toward treating it as a foundational tool for operational efficiency. By ensuring predictable performance, enterprises can more effectively link their digital infrastructure investments directly to their bottom line.
