Join us for our farewell to the Voice of 5G podcast, celebrating the last 4.5 years of the show. Previous guests return to reflect on their thoughts on 5G, their relationship with podcasting, and their expectations for the future of 5G and even 6G.

Welcome to the penultimate episode of the Voice of 5G podcast! This week, we are joined by our North American colleagues and network experts, Sashieka Seneviratne and Paul Challoner. We focus on three hot topics for the area - Open RAN, sustainability and monetization. We discuss various use cases in the sporting world, including the power of network slicing when watching diving championships, as well as touching upon non-terrestrial and terrestrial networks, rApps, FWA and more.

This week, we're joined by Peter Jonsson and Peter Linder to jump into the latest Ericsson Mobility Report which came out in June. We dive deeper into the importance of differentiated services, traffic patterns and changes in the 5G landscape together with Peter and Peter.

This episode, we're joined by Andrea Dona from Vodafone and Blessing Makumbe from Ericsson to talk about how standalone 5G and network slicing was used in the broadcasting of King Charles III's coronation in London in May, which was the first time in Britain a commerical slice of 5G SA was used at such a big and monumental event.
