Telecom companies have been racing to ready their services for 5G, which will offer faster data speeds compared to today's 4G LTE service. AT&T has been accused of jumping the gun in advertising the"5G Evolution," according to a lawsuit filed by Sprint last month. The complaint sought to prevent AT&T from using any variation on 5G like"5G E" in promoting its current wireless network offerings.
Wednesday's talk will focus specifically on how 5G will change the world of banking and financial technology. Several reports suggest 5G will help financial institutions speed up transaction times, among other benefits.
