MWC Americas 2018 Seminar:5G Beyond Mobile Broadband
Venue: Room 518, Second Level, Los Angeles Convention Center
5G is expected to revolutionise the mobile broadband experience, with the promise of seemingly unlimited speed and real time responsiveness. But 5G will also go far beyond mobile broadband, transforming the role of telecommunications in everyday life.
Configurable features, achievable thanks to network slicing, support ultra reliable connections and other advanced features, and will pave the way to a new raft of applications and services that are unattainable with existing cellular systems.
The GSMA’s Future Networks Programme will host a 5G Seminar at Mobile World Americas 2018. World class experts from mobile operators and the wider ecosystem will discuss the opportunities and services that 5G will unlock beyond mobile broadband.
