Applied 5G

Chairpersons welcome and opening remarks. 

• What we have learnt so far in relation to network speeds and security when deployed.  
• Is 5G performing as well as originally anticipated with the network capabilities of wider bandwidth, flexibility and lower latency? 
• Examples across verticals of 5G running live. 

• Where we are with adopting Edge platforms in the 5G space.   
• Enabling multi-access edge computing (MEC) as the key for optimum response.   
• Localised hosting – the benefits and drawbacks for network solutions.   
• Examples of 5G Edge platforms in action.

• Combining AI at the Edge as the ultimate game-changer.   
• Using trials and testing to see where AI can really impact opportunities and experiences.   
• AI and ML as part of critical infrastructure for operations and maintenance optimisation.  

To follow soon …

• With 5G commercial trials rolling out, are more 5G focused business models needed to take advantage of this market? 
• Digital deployment – is a hybrid approach of public and private networks best?   
• A shift from the quality of service to quality of experience and personalisation.  
• What needs to happen next for 5G to reach its financial capabilities?

• Collaborative working for greater flexibility.  
• Costs of 5G, can Open RAN help to aid the financial burden? 
• The new capabilities to create new features and services at speed.  

• Creating audience immersion through AV, VR, ML and robotics.   
• The extensive capability of user personalisation now available.   
• Using Edge, AI and digital technologies to enable higher bandwidth and stronger coverage.     
• Trials and testing for the future of 5G optimised entertainment.

• A look at the progression from core, non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) 5G.  
• Unlocking mass coverage with capabilities through SA 5G, from heightened speeds to network slicing.  
• Where do we go from here with this next-gen connectivity?

• The current status of 5G across the Americas. 
• A look at how to grow 5G. 
• Emerging 5G use-cases. 
• The roadmap for 5G and beyond (as 6G comes into play).
