It will discuss the role of infrastructure firms in providing key changes in 5G infrastructure. It will also consider how 5G private network infrastructure will improve when 5G standards support more industry-focused Internet of Things. Finally, the panel will consider how 5G private network infrastructure helps to bridge\u00a0\u00a0Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT). The second panel will focus on specific examples of 5G Private Networks and explores the changes in plant operations once new infrastructure is in place. It will examine the benefits of bringing Real-Time Analytics to Production and advances in optimizing Equipment Efficiency. It will also consider how 5G Private Networks alter how goods are produced and helps firms move to new business models.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday April 7th, 2021, 10:00am EDT&#8220;Developing an Actionable Risk Management Framework Tool to Mitigate Cybersecurity Threats in Financial Inclusion&#8221; On Wednesday April 7th\u00a0the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information will be holding a webinar of its Digital Financial Services Observatory project.\u00a0\u00a0This webinar will cover this history of the DFSO, the work that the DFSO has accomplished over&hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.citicolumbia.org\/index.php\/events\/recent-events\/\" class=\"themebutton2\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":43,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.citicolumbia.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/47"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.citicolumbia.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.citicolumbia.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.citicolumbia.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.citicolumbia.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"http:\/\/www.citicolumbia.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/47\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1159,"href":"http:\/\/www.citicolumbia.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/47\/revisions\/1159"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.citicolumbia.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/43"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.citicolumbia.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
