17、 realm for ways of workingApplications and services:A new realm for ways of working8By 2030,many industry processes will have a flexible hybrid work model,with workers being able to operate from anywhere in the world through a shared network environment,without limitations to software or connection.

18、Indoor connectivityBut in order to achieve this,improved indoor connectivity is a crucial component of providing ubiquitous access to services and applications.Furthermore,its imperative to ensure access to applications and services through secure networks.Find out moreA new realm for ways of workin
