Background:

This Communications Alliance Comms Essentials seminar will focus on the evolution of 5G, its use cases in an omni-connected world, and the opportunities and challenges that come with it.

5G wireless networks support very large gains in capacity, allow connections for billions of devices and create a user experience characterised by fast speeds. Extremely low latency and response times enable unprecedented connectivity and automation in new sectors – 5G is being designed for massive industrial applications taking digitisation to the next level. The technology will create various new use cases and play an important role in the internet of things. The development pathway for 5G features many partnerships and collaborative efforts including public private partnerships which are all important to developing an understanding of 5G and its opportunities. Policy issues in relation to key 5G infrastructure are part of the picture and deserve early attention to ensure 5G can develop to its full potential.
