Wireless Important for Smart Cities, Adelstein Tells WIA, Which Hears About 5G Benefits

Wireless is important for everything from healthcare and education to improved public safety and smart cities, said Wireless Infrastructure Association President Jonathan Adelstein at the start of the group’s annual meeting Tuesday in Orlando, Florida. “That’s why we are getting so much support in Washington and state capitals around the country,” he said. Zayo CEO Dan Caruso said there won’t be winners and losers from 5G -- everyone wins: “Wireless carriers obviously benefit, it expands their opportunity.” Tower companies, fiber providers and even content and web companies will see benefits, he said. “The question is how do we get there.”
