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
