Join the Network 2020 Programme at this year’s Mobile World Congress Shanghai where the team will be showcasing the next generation of All-IP communications.
Network 2020 at MWC Shanghai 2015
The conference at MWC Shanghai is an exclusive programme showcasing the innovation and vision of the mobile industry, and provides senior industry professionals the unlimited possibilities of mobile. Over two days, the conference will feature thought-provoking presentations from the mobile industry’s most influential executives, who will share their visions of the mobile industry while providing essential insights on mobile trends.
Keynote: The Road to 5G – Thursday, 16 July 2015 09:15-10:45 Auditorium A – Grand Shanghai Ballroom 2
With international standards still to be set and initial commercial trials not expected until 2020, there is still some time to wait before the arrival of 5G. In the meantime, 4G technologies will continue to drive the convergence of the IT and telco worlds, transforming mobile networks and the way in which mobile operators deploy new and existing services.
Join CEOs from across the mobile ecosystem as they share their vision for 5G and discuss how the mobile industry can achieve the ambitious targets it has set for itself.
Network Evolution: Virtualising the Network – Thursday, 16 July 2015 13:45–15:00 Auditorium B – Pudong 3
LTE enabled all-IP networks are transforming the way in which mobile operators plan future network deployments and upgrades as well as the provision of new and existing services. NFV and SDN promise to improve efficiencies of scale within the network while minimising the impact of upgrades, allowing operators to better meet the challenges posed by the incredible speed of service innovation we are seeing today. Unlike previous network generations however, the path to the successful implementation of these technologies within mobile networks remains unclear.
Listen to industry leaders as they discuss how networks are being virtualised today.
5G Leadership in the Asia Pacific Region – Thursday, 16 July 2015 15:30–16:45 Auditorium C – Pudong 4
Promising a tenfold increase in data transmission speeds compared to current 4G capabilities but also so much more besides, the as yet undefined 5G standard is already an important agenda item for telecom operators worldwide. Without undermining existing network investments, early movers in Japan and South Korea are among those vying for 5G leadership, with the first commercial trials anticipated between 2018 and 2020 to coincide with the Olympic Games. This important session will demonstrate learnings from the latest 5G trials and updates on deployment plans in the Asia Pacific region.
