From the 9th to 11th October 2023, the Telecom Infra Project held its flagship industry event, Fyuz, at the IFEMA Palacio Municipal in Madrid, Spain.
As the only event to cover all aspects of open and disaggregated network technologies, Fyuz attracts C-Level executives, visionary speakers, innovators and disruptors all focused on the future of connectivity; how it can take root, grow and flourish.
Fyuz 2023 welcomed over 1200 attendees from 47 countries representing mobile operators and other service providers, vendors, systems integrators, regulators, investors, consultants, analysts, business and trade media with over 55% of attendees holding senior positions (Director and above). Approximately one quarter of all attendees were from mobile operators.
Kristian Toivo, Executive Director of TIP said: “After the positive feedback and award recognition we received for Fyuz last year, there was a great desire to make this year’s event even better. We’re incredibly pleased by how engaged our delegates have been in the agenda, and the quality and depth of discussions that have taken place in Madrid this week across the sessions. We believe in having open conversations about the progress of open and disaggregated networks, and we’re grateful to our community for making Fyuz the event to do that.”
The Fyuz exhibition featured 45 exhibitors and sponsors supporting an agenda including over 50 hours of content, made up of presentations, panels and breakout sessions covering all aspects of open and disaggregated network technology from wireless, fixed and satellite communications and from access to transport and the core.
Key speakers from the summits included representatives from American Tower, Arm, AT&T, AWS, BT, Comcast, DISH Wireless, Dell, Deutsche Telekom, DSIT, Ericsson, Google, Intel, Mavenir, Meta, Microsoft, MTN, Nokia, NTIA, NTT DOCOMO, Nvidia, Oracle, Orange, Qualcomm, Samsung, Telefónica, Telia Company, USDTA, VMware, and Vodafone among others.
