Industry experts will discuss the evolution from 4G LTE to 5G mobile networks and more
The telecommunications industry, now more than ever, is evolving. LTE networks are evolving to support new, innovative services like VoLTE and VoWi-Fi, and, simultaneously, the foundations are being laid for next-generation 5G networks that will support a range of futuristic applications like the tactile Internet, TV anywhere and the Internet of Things, to name a few.
For those who work in the industry, be it engineers working out the next proof-of-concept or financial officers coming up with plans to finance deployment strategies, it’s essential to understand not only the latest technical advancements, but also how that technology fits into the larger ecosystem.
IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) is at the forefront of both the technical work that will foundationally shift how we all communicate, as well as the standardization that will transition that technology from whiteboards to boardrooms.
IEEE GLOBECOM 2015, a flagship event for the organization, is a can’t miss opportunity to take a deep dive into the technology shaping our world, while also connecting with high-level industry decision-makers.
The five-day event, slated for Dec. 6-10 at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel in San Diego, California, includes tutorials, workshops, technical symposia and an exciting industry forum and exhibition.
“This is an excellent opportunity to bring together global leaders in the wireless industry for an in-depth look at technologies that will fundamentally change the way people live and work,” Ed Tiedemann, IEEE GLOBECOM 2015 General Chair and Senior Vice President of Engineering at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., told RCR Wireless News.
“IEEE ComSoc is known for its deep expertise in wireless technology, which will certainly be showcased at IEEE GLOBECOM, but the show is so much more. Technical presentations, discussion of industry trends and hands-on demos of cutting edge tech will provide an end-to-end view of where the wireless ecosystem is today, and address how we can work together to drive business value, innovation and customer satisfaction.”
Anchored by patrons including Qualcomm, Keysight Technologies, Huawei, National Instruments, ViaSat and Intel, panel discussions will give IEEE GLOBECOM attendees new insight in the outlook for tapping into millimeter wave spectrum; the role of massive MIMO, NFV and SDN in 5G networks; wearable technology; prototyping and testing new mobile networks; and a look ahead at workforce training needs, among many other topical issues.
Cutting edge demonstrations will showcase the latest in 10 Gbps E-band radio links; bi-directional in-band full duplex communication for video content streaming; dense cooperative wireless cloud networks; LTE-Wi-Fi aggregation and more.
Industry heavyweights are scheduled to conduct keynote addresses on a range of issues including test and measurement, the evolution from LTE to 5G and more.
Eric Starkloff, EVP of global sales and marketing for National Instruments will discuss transforming traditional design paradigms in 5G wireless networks. Also on 5G, Matt Grob, EVP and CTO of Qualcomm, will look at how to evolve current mobile networks from LTE to 5G.
