Manufacturers are deploying AI-driven devices faster than they're planning for the networks required to support them — and the data shows the gap is closing fast. In a recent industry survey, 89% of manufacturers describe only moderate confidence that their current wireless throughput can support three years of AI ambition, while 78% project substantial or exponential growth in connected endpoints. One in five organizations has already hit a wall where they can't deploy new devices because their network has maxed out.

This webinar will dive deeper into our recent research and will feature Verizon expert Mike Weller and several manufacturers. Join us as they unpack which assets are driving the most strain on networks, how to proactively plan and forecast for the future, and how a defined owner can help mitigate network connectivity issues in the age of AI.
