Data streaming is transforming the telecommunications market, putting pressure on telco service providers to provide more interoperable, reliable, and real-time connectivity. In a sector where inflexible, monolithic platforms were once the default, now industry innovators like DISH Wireless are unlocking new value for their customers with real-time network streaming.

  • An overview of DISH network services and how the company produces over an exabyte of data daily
  • Why DISH chose Confluent Cloud vs other data streaming platforms to serve as the foundation for its intelligent 5G network
  • How DISH Wireless is powering the launch of new products and services like data mesh and driving real-time backend operations
  • What the future of 5G looks like when combined with data streaming and Kafka

Save your seat to learn more about DISH’s 5G infrastructure and dive deeper into the analytics and operational use cases across the retail, automotive, and industrial edge DISH can now support.
