5G Networks
Date: Wednesday, September 13, 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Location: Moscone South, Esplande level, Keynote
The 5G story continues to develop, with new business cases being discussed or developed further as early stage trials and deployments are announced. The acceleration in the standardization process, as well as the R&D taking place throughout the telecommunications ecosystem has put the industry on alert to decide how, when and where 5G will be deployed into its networks. With competing views and approaches to 5G, the industry and its partners will need to find the sweet spot for the technology, a necessary step to creating a successful business case and ROI opportunities for operators and infrastructure providers worldwide. During this session, the discussion will revolve not only on the core technology that will become the building blocks of 5G, but also the merits of this new generation, why it is necessary, and where we will see the early deployments and developments.
