IEEE Future Networks World Forum
On-Demand through 15 November 2022

S2: Symposium on Blockchain Future Networks

13 October 2022 // 16:00 – 17:30 // Hybrid

SCOPE

Integrating business processes between enterprises requires a high level of trust between the involved parties. The 2-3 tier IT architectural model is solely based on trusting the party hosting the data layer. However, blockchain introduces a cloud agnostic and virtualized distributed architecture that facilitates a swift integration. Thus, no single entity is exclusively in charge or in control, forging trust between enterprises, suppliers, third parties, network operators and customers – across a whole supply chain.

This session will show real use cases in full production, adopted for global finance, our 5G core business, as well as the future potential of combining 6G and blockchain.
