Hybrid network integration and coexistence: Interoperability, orchestration, RF coexistence, QoS and spectrum planning.
Orchestration, automation and lifecycle management: Orchestration across edge, RAN, and core; automation of provisioning and QoS; tools needed for unified visibility across IT/OT domains, managing distributed, multi-network architectures
Scaling across sites and systems: Replicability, ecosystem, spectrum constraints, orchestration, vendor interoperability.
Network-enabled AI and edge architectures: Supporting agentic and generative AI through edge compute and robust network infrastructure: Latency, workload distribution (cloud vs edge), security and industrial AI readiness.
Network security across converged IT/OT environments: Building end-to-end trust in hybrid infrastructures: Zero trust, segmentation, legacy integration, policy enforcement across IT/OT/cloud.
The business case: ROI, TCO and monetization: Evaluating real-world financial justification for private 5G and hybrid networks: Use case viability, monetization paths, CAPEX vs OPEX and cost-benefit analysis.
Spectrum strategy and global deployment constraints: Addressing the challenges of deploying private networks across fragmented spectrum regimes: Cross-border policy gaps, public spectrum (CBRS), MNO-led vs enterprise-led models, scaling, limitations.
Bridging OT and IT use cases: Mastering hybrid, multi-network complexity at scale
Free Virtual Event | November 4th 9AM EST / 2 PM UK

At the Industrial Wireless Forum, RCR Wireless News go beyond the hype to focus on real challenges. End-users don’t have a “5G problem”—they have operational challenges to solve. Rip-and-replace won’t work, Wi-Fi still matters and private 5G is only part of a much bigger puzzle, so coexistence is often the most realistic approach, shaped by economics, and environment, bridging OT and IT use cases to justify the investment. The question is: how can we simplify the complexity of integrating, managing, orchestrating and testing multi-network systems?
This forum brings together the full ecosystem—operators, OEMs, integrators, and end users—to assess the true state of industrial connectivity. Through real life case studies, we’ll explore the opportunities and limitations of private 5G, Wi-Fi, NTN, IP communication over 5G network, TSN and more. We look at how these technologies can be integrated into a unified architecture that supports diverse industrial use cases. We’ll examine how edge, cloud and AI are reshaping network design, and what it takes to scale, orchestrate, automate and manage complex, multi-network environments.
This is a forum for those navigating the messy middle of industrial transformation—where results matter more than marketing.
