Ericsson hosted more than 535 registrants from 222 companies at their biggest event of the year, the Competitive Carriers Association’s (CCA) Annual Fall Conference in Providence, Rhode Island. Following the conference, 36 companies attended the Regional Connect Summit, formerly the North America Customer Summit. Both events focused on the theme, “Switch to 5G,” which touts Ericsson’s ability to help regional operators leverage their 4G LTE networks as they move toward 5G.
At CCA, Ericsson was a Pinnacle sponsor and had a strong presence at the show with the largest booth and robust thought leadership including two keynote panels, one sponsored session and panelists in three sessions during the regular conference tracks. In addition to thought leadership and booth demonstrations of 5G, IoT and analytics, Ericsson received the Outstanding Service Award for our reach-out work with the Ericsson-Girl Scouts Alliance. Head of CU Regional Carriers Rob Johnson accepted the award at the event on behalf of Ericsson.
The one-and-a-half-day Regional Connect Summit event followed CCA and had 75 customer attendees including CCA CEO Steve Berry who participated on the first day. Ericsson’s main event at the Summit was the launch of Regional Connect, our new community for regional carriers. The event also showcased seven demonstrations, as well as thought leadership keynotes, in-depth technical sessions, executive and technical roundtables and networking activities. “The Regional Connect Summit and CCA provides an incredible opportunity for us all to connect as a community, exchange ideas and learn from one another,” said Johnson.
