Joe Madden

I lead a team of industry Experts that guides the mobile industry in development of 5G, Edge Cloud, IoT, and now 6G. We provide deep technical analysis and we use hard-nosed economic estimates to make accurate predictions about future technology direction. By tracking mobile traffic density trends, I accurately predicted the rise of Small Cells, four years before it happened. I was the only analyst with accurate predictions for 5G, including FWA success and slow IoT adoption, as early as 2014. More recently (2019), I was able to predict accurately how ORAN would be adopted narrowly in the 5G cycle. My team and I sell our research to industry suppliers, from semiconductor companies to large OEMs. We provide useful information for companies to make specific technical decisions on new R&D projects. My specialties: Mobile Infrastructure and Handset Technology, Product Marketing, Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), Business Development. I was selected as a Lightreading "Leading Lights MVP" in 2022.
