Sitting in his Palo Alto , California office at the height of the latest COVID-19 lockdown , Frank Wilde , VP of the Global Center of Excellence at SAP , could be less than enthusiastic about the state of the world as we enter 2021 . However , nothing could be further from the truth .
Wilde is here to discuss SAP ’ s 5G Council , the innovative role it is playing around the world in the deployment of the technology , and the opportunities that 5G brings – which have been only heightened as COVID-19 has acted as a catalyst for digital transformation .
“ We launched the 5G Council with the intent to pull together a unified value chain ,” says Wilde . “ We feel the power of 5G , as well as edge computing is really taking much more of a consortium approach – realizing that no single organization provides the core capabilities . It ’ s really interlocking capabilities that brings 5G to life .”
The 5G Council includes leading technology partners from around the world , covering all aspects of 5G implementation
