Towards the future of wireless networks: Guglielmo participates in UrbanTech 2026
The world of telecommunications and wireless connectivity is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. As technology evolves towards next-generation networks, the challenges surrounding infrastructure and innovation demand concrete, sustainable, and immediately scalable solutions.
It is within this framework that Giovanni Guerri, CEO and Co-founder of Guglielmo, will participate on October 8th in the UrbanTech 2026 event (Bologna, October 7–9, 2026), as part of the panel entitled: “The Italian industrial wireless communications supply chain and research: the challenge of next-generation technologies”
Today, we face a true “5G paradox”: on one hand, we record extreme speeds; on the other hand, signal coverage in indoor environments (where users spend 90% of their time and generate nearly double the data traffic) encounters severe penetration limitations.
Traditional coverage extension systems, such as Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), often entail massive capital expenditure (CAPEX), long implementation times, and regulatory complexity.
During the panel, Giovanni Guerri will present Guglielmo’s strategic vision based on a real-world convergence model between Wi-Fi and cellular networks. By leveraging existing Wi-Fi infrastructure alongside new authentication protocols, the platform enables:
- Zero CAPEX Costs: Extend indoor 5G coverage without installing complex cabling or new dedicated antennas.
- Frictionless User Experience (Seamless Handover): Transitions between cellular and Wi-Fi networks occur automatically, fluidly, and without tedious login portals.
- Macro Cell Offloading (Data Offloading up to 40%): Drastically reduce the load on main cell towers in dense urban areas, improving overall quality of service.
- Carrier-Grade Security: WPA3-Enterprise encryption and native SIM/eSIM-based authentication.
The effectiveness and global scalability of this software-defined approach have already been proven in high-density real-world environments, such as recent deployments in the heart of London, demonstrating how public infrastructure and devices can integrate transparently and seamlessly.
