We’re at MWC Las Vegas 2025 (by GSMA) a focused tech conference on enterprise 5G, AI, IoT, and the tools that actually move business forward. This year’s show runs October 14–16, 2025 at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, with three core themes: Connected Industries, AI+, and Connected Enablers.
So what does a big-league telecom event have to do with small and mid-sized businesses in Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder City? A lot. Since we provide Managed Networking for Las Vegas and Henderson businesses, we’re here to check out the latest and greated in 5G connectivity options. Here’s what we’re scouting, and how it can translate into faster, safer, more reliable IT for your team.
1) Private 5G & smarter Wi-Fi: reliable connectivity where it matters
For warehouses, construction yards, and large offices, private 5G and modern Wi-Fi 6/6E aren’t buzzwords—they’re how you get coverage and capacity without drop-offs. We’ll be looking at network design patterns that blend fiber, Wi-Fi, and private cellular so barcode scanners, tablets, and laptops stay online during peak shifts. Expect takeaways on roaming, QoS for voice/video, and interference management you can apply even if you’re “Wi-Fi-only.”
2) AI where it helps (not where it’s hype)
The AI+ track highlights practical wins like smarter help desk triage, voice-to-workflow tools, and edge AI (cameras/sensors detecting issues in real time). Our lens: “Can this reduce tickets, speed up approvals, or harden security?” We’ll bring back vendor-neutral guidance and roadmaps sized for SMB budgets.
3) eSIM, device fleets, and less SIM-swap drama
eSIM management is maturing fast. For companies with field staff or shared iPads, this means faster provisioning, fewer plastic SIMs, and better control when offboarding. Paired with carrier port-out/SIM-swap PINs, you can cut account-takeover risk and keep numbers tied to business policy—not a single phone.
4) Connected Enablers: APIs, security, and “boring” plumbing that saves you later
The “Connected Enablers” theme digs into items your CFO will love: APIs that automate workflows, zero-trust access for remote users, managed DNS/content filtering, and observability (seeing issues before users do). These are the guardrails that keep cloud apps fast while reducing breach exposure.
5) What we’ll bring back for Southwest Cloud Partners clients
- A 90-day connectivity plan: quick wins for Wi-Fi reliability, remote access, and branch connectivity.
- Security upgrades mapped to real threats (MFA that resists phishing, DNS filtering, geo/IP rules, and “least-privilege” defaults).
- Device lifecycle tips: from Windows 11 standards to eSIM policies and zero-touch deployment.
- Cost-control ideas: right-sizing bandwidth, smarter failover, and when private 5G actually pencils out.
If you’re also attending, ping us and let’s compare notes on the show floor. If not, we’ll publish a practical debrief with vendor-agnostic recommendations the week after the event.
Our 5G Secondary Internet Deployments
For clients who can’t afford downtime, we deploy a secondary internet connection over 5G with business-class routers and SD-WAN. If fiber/coax drops, traffic fails over in seconds—then fails back when the primary returns. We can pin critical apps (VoIP, card terminals, EHR) to guaranteed paths, apply content filtering, and monitor usage so you never get bill shock. It’s simple, affordable resiliency you feel the first time the ISP hiccups.
