to have a huge impact on Fintech and other industries .
According to Forrester only 27 % of today ’ s businesses have a coherent digital strategy that sets out how the firm will create customer value as a digital business . Gartner Research reports that 125,000 large organisations are launching digital business initiatives now and that CEOs expect digital revenues to increase by more than 80 % by 2020 . IDC expects that the percentage of enterprises creating advanced digital transformation initiatives will more than double by 2020 , from today ’ s 22 % to almost 50 %.

Human history is a history of connections . The pursuit of communication promotes the development of connections , and the development of connections promotes the development of society .
In the coming 5G era , all things in daily life will be connected and all industries will be transformed through digitalisation .
Mobile has already changed how we communicate and now it ’ s changing how we live . In the future , mobile will change society and reshape the world . Mobile will be the foundation and enabler of transformation in all industries and the development of society .
Looking to the future , new opportunities will bring new growth , new requirements , and new challenges to mobile networks . Are we ready for all these changes ?
The next phase of wireless intelligence is to explore more possibilities with big data and machine learning .
We can logically split each cell into thousands of virtual grids and each grid can store all wireless parameter data from the control plane , user plane , and management plane , both in real-time and also from historical data . With all this data , networks can understand real scenarios more accurately and network resources can be used more efficiently .
The wireless intelligence solution for smart carrier aggregation ensures the device is always on the best carriers with multi-dimension input .
And that ’ s just the beginning . We ’ re linking more data and characteristics into virtual grids to build a unique network fingerprint . We can thus imagine new capabilities and applications . For example , as hotspots become less predictable , wireless intelligence can automatically predict a possible instant hotspot and call for a new mobile site , such as an unmanned aerial vehicle ( UAV ), to set up , self-configure , and self-optimise with the whole wireless network , thus meeting traffic requirements in advance . That ’ s an intelligent network .
Another case in the near future , is achieving a sub-meter level positioning with a unique network fingerprint to achieve 10 times greater accuracy than GPS , both indoors and outdoors , which will enable new applications such as interactive mobile gaming with Augmented Reality ( AR ).
World Economic Forum
The exponential growth in digitisation and Internet connectivity is the backbone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution . It has the potential to propel societies forward , enable innovative business models and help Governments address legitimate policy concerns . Digitisation is transforming business models , the policy landscape and social norms .
The aim of the World Economic Forum ’ s “ System Initiative on Shaping the Future of the Digital Economy and Society ” is to cultivate a shared , trusted digital environment that is a driver of inclusion , economic development and social progress . The System Initiative aims to create networks that enable and encourage action to promote the long-term health and stability of digitally enabled economies and societies through : understanding the shift through leadingedge intelligence ; collectively solving new issues via improved governance and policy-making in a digitised society ; and partnering to rapidly scale successes by cultivating an online environment of trust and increasing access and adoption .
The Challenge The Internet is a pervasive , fundamental part of daily life that continues to deliver massive economic and social benefits around the world . Yet some 3.9 billion people – more than 52 % of
