Show Notes

Peggy chats with Mobeen Khan, AVP product marketing management Internet of Things Solutions, AT&T, who says the cadre of customers and the customer interaction was just amazing at the AT&T Business Summit last month. Also, he explains that AT&T is becoming very embedded in different verticals. He says the challenges faced by each vertical is different in nature. For example, fleets need to comply with mandates, but they also have a big focus on worker safety—which is one case of how a vertical has unique challenges. On the other hand, retail needs to manage floor space versus online, as another instance. Each has a different pace at which they want to make investments. He explains that just like any other technology, network technology goes through an evolution. There are three things AT&T thinks about when it thinks about 5G: speed, latency, and adoption of IoT.
