NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Oppenheimer &
Co. Inc. ("Oppenheimer") – a leading investment bank, wealth
manager, and a subsidiary of Oppenheimer Holdings (NYSE: OPY) –
today announced the launch of its highly regarded Annual 5G Summit.
The one-day virtual event on December
14 – focusing on the convergence of cloud computing, storage
and wireless communications – brings attention to major companies
at the forefront of industry transformation, including AT&T,
T-Mobile, Verizon, and MaxLinear, as well as a number of disruptive
and newer players including Airspan, Federated Wireless, and Helium
as new types of cloud-based networks play an increasingly important
role in redefining communications and accelerating wireless
growth.
Tim Horan, Oppenheimer's Senior
Analyst for Cloud & Communications, said, "Five years after the
release of the first 5G standard, the dawn of a new Golden Age for
wireless is upon us and supported by a new food chain driving new
applications. 5G, among other things, promises the immediacy of
ten-to-twenty times what the human eye can see or skin can touch.
We see wireless converging with cloud-based technologies as the
U.S. seeks to capitalize on its entrepreneurial dominance and
separate the software from the underlying hardware to enable many
more suppliers. As investors seek more information about key growth
drivers and the latest developments in 5G technology, Oppenheimer
is at the helm of these important discussions, supporting companies
and investors pursuing investment opportunities amid the digital
revolution."
The Summit will include presentations, panels and 1-on-1
meetings covering critical shifts among cloud companies and across
the wireless industry, as firms seek to leverage cloud platforms,
innovative software and soaring demand for high-quality and
high-capacity wireless broadband to drive compelling new growth
opportunities.
Members of the Oppenheimer equity research team in attendance
will include:
- Timothy Horan, CFA, Managing
Director and Senior Analyst, Cloud and Communication Services
- George Iwanyc, Director,
Collaboration and Infrastructure Software and Communication
Technology Solutions
- Richard Schafer, Managing
Director and Senior Analyst, Semiconductors
- Martin Yang, CFA, Senior
Analyst, Emerging Technologies, and Services
Erica L. Moffett, Managing
Director and Associate Director of Equity Research at Oppenheimer,
said, "As we expect increasing disruption in the wireless industry
over the next five years – specifically in the areas of the cloud
and platform-as-a-service computing – customers are demanding
better, faster and more customizable networks. Oppenheimer
continues to be in the vanguard of these trends, fostering dialogue
on the new network migration, while being recognized for our
thought leadership across the spectrum of cloud-based technologies.
Reliable, scalable 5G will provide the platform for next-step
innovations, including in the Metaverse, AI and blockchain, and it
is Oppenheimer's privilege to welcome key movers of the industry,
investors, and speakers to our 2nd Annual 5G
Summit."
