FinTech Magazine
September 11, 2020
My key message is that "a cashless future will be inevitable..." and the trigger for the final transition to cashless will be when cash becomes too costly to supply and to accept.

The future of indoors with digital indoor systems
FutureIoT by CXOCIETY
June 19, 2020
With the new normal brought about by COVID-19, new perspectives on what people need and want will emerge. It is clear that with the global launch of 5G, investments in indoor solutions will shift to DIS solutions for new sites. Developments in policy, business models and innovation enablers are helping to tip the scales. However, the bigger question now is, when will the massive number of existing sites with DAS solutions migrate to DIS and how much will developments with millimeter wave and massive MIMO affect the timing of the transition? It is known from past industry analysis that if there is a need, the investments necessary will come through. Governments laying the groundwork early will only crystalize the future of indoors sooner. In an industry where need has never been well understood, innovation and transformation in this area could become a catalyst for future growth.

Bracing for the new normal – let’s make 5G work
theSunDaily
April 28, 2020
This article highlights the need to close the gap between mobile operators/vendors and end user companies in order for 5g to scale and drive the much anticipated innovative end to end services.
On one hand, mobile operators and vendors say their biggest challenge with driving 5G adoption is the lack of sufficient industry partnerships to build solutions that capitalise on 5G. Whereas, end-user companies within vertical industries say they are struggling to come up with innovative ideas that can unlock the potential of 5G. In particular, the perspective of end-user companies on the need for 5G to solve pain points is unique to them.

The future of payments – digital and cashless
Disruptive Asia
July 16, 2019
My take is that 5G will open up multiple new opportunities, use cases and business models; if paired with payments, this can revolutionize how consumers interact and enterprises compete. The payments industry should work towards integrating into society so efficiently that it becomes the de facto enabler of industry digitalization on a global scale. To do this, payment solutions have to closely meet the needs of the users that they serve and have to integrate seamlessly and securely with applications that bring true value add and convenience to consumers.
