5G Technology: Challenges & Innovations

Faculty: TIU – Rectorate
Department: TIU – IT Services Unit

The workshop in brief:

Technologies for 5G and future generations of connectivity, when deployed in the 2020s, will provide higher bandwidth and lower latency than current-generation 4G technology. “5G and Beyond” will enable bandwidth in excess of 100s of Megabits per second (Mb/s) with the latency of less than 1 millisecond (ms), as well as provide connectivity to billions of devices. Most importantly, these technologies are expected to enable fundamentally new applications that will transform the way humanity lives, works, and engages with its environment. The members and societies recognize the disruptive nature of technologies enabling the 5G and Beyond vision, as well as the substantial technical barriers to its realization.

Number of participants: 22 participants.

Date and time: November 24-25, 2019
