Throughout 2016, the SCWS series has celebrated its 10th year in the making. This year’s theme, “Commercializing the Mobile Edge,” is relevant to the new deployments, business models and service opportunities available in small cells industry, including the introduction of MulteFire technology. The MulteFire Alliance is proud to endorse the SCWS World Series, serving operators and solution providers across the globe whose interest is in advancing network connectivity.
