Open5GCon is about bringing thought leaders together in an open-source way,\u201d explained Gavin McDougall, Senior Solution Architect at Red Hat.<\/p>\n<p>Attendees of the event will also benefit from hearing real-world stories from the company\u2019s customers who have started rolling out 5G in their networks.<\/p>\n<p>The conference\u2019s impressive speaker line-up includes Dr Chih-Lin, Chief Scientist for Wireless Technologies at China Mobile Research Institute; Arash Ashouriha, Senior Vice President of Group Technology Innovation at Deutsche Telekom AG; and Jennifer Didoni, Head of Cloud Portfolio at Vodafone Business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Red Hat, we believe that everyone is a contributor and every idea matters. Open5GCon allows our customers and partners to participate in an open event where we\u2019ll hear views and insights on 5G trends, solutions and technology,\u201d added McDougall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c5G will provide a platform for new areas for innovation in healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing, to name a few. And while it\u2019s still early days, 5G has the power to transform entire industries and builds the foundation for what some are calling the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It\u2019s difficult to predict all of the innovation that 5G will deliver in years\u2019 to come, but the possibilities are enormous,\u201d concluded McDougall.<\/p>\n<p>Open5GCon is an open, free event that offers varying perspectives from some of the biggest names and thought leaders in the industry.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redhat.com\/en\/events\/webinar\/open5gcon?sc_cid=7013a000002god3AAA&amp;utm_source=MyBroadband&amp;utm_medium=Sponsored_Article&amp;utm_content=16_September_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to register for the unmissable event<\/a>.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redhat.com\/en\/events\/webinar\/open5gcon?sc_cid=7013a000002god3AAA&amp;utm_source=MyBroadband&amp;utm_medium=Sponsored_Article&amp;utm_content=16_September_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-367649 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/640x430-640x430.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/640x430.png 640w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/640x430-595x400.png 595w, https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/640x430-300x202.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open collaboration and innovation are at the heart of Red Hat\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341030,"featured_media":367677,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28937],"tags":[17540],"class_list":["post-367645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industrynews","tag-red-hat"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367645"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341030"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367645"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367645\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":367679,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367645\/revisions\/367679"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
