5G Critical Security

Fira Gran Via, Hall 4, Auditorium 5

Wed 26 Feb

14:30 – 15:30

Security is a top concern for 5G operators, almost equal to increasing capacity and throughput," according to a recent report from Business Performance Innovation Network. Operators still don't precisely know how billions of connected objects could affect nascent 5G networks. However, concerns focus on the core network; devices; and staffing and management requirements. 5G’s improvements in speed, capacity and latency also risk giving new force to attacks like volumetric distributed denial-of service (DDoS).

Attend this session if you want to learn how to combat and mitigate potential security risks as you roll out 5G networks.

Innovating for IoT: Thriving in a World Where Devices Outnumber Humans

Fira Gran Via, Hall 4, Auditorium 4

Wed 26 Feb

15:45 – 16:45

According to the UN, the human population is likely to reach 8.6 billion in 2030 – the same year that the number of connected devices will reach between 500 billion and 1 trillion. This presents massive opportunities for innovation in a number of areas; from tackling ageing populations to climate change, mass urbanisation the search for clean energy and food and water shortages. With so many connected devices globally, operators must also re-align their competitive strategies, skills and services. The value of data generated by this number of devices is yet to be fully realised and the combination of blockchain and IoT Technologies also offers new opportunities for innovation. We must leverage these technologies to ensure no-one is left behind.

This session offers up profound real-world examples of cutting-edge innovations in the IoT landscape.

Will 5G Create a New Digital Divide?

Fira Gran Via, Hall 4, Auditorium 2

Wed 26 Feb

15:45 – 16:45

As we have all heard, 5G is not simply an upgrade in terms of speed, throughput and service. The generational leap brings with it a plethora of services and use cases currently being touted by the industry as the reason to bring 5G to life. A large emphasis is also placed on its impact on society, people and culture, by making technology a fundamental part of individuals’ lives, whatever their circumstance. In fact, assistive technology for those with disabilities, and services to disenfranchised and underserved communities is a large promise with 5G. Will these services, however, be available to all? Can the industry and associated sectors and verticals build an inclusive, competitively priced set of solutions for those in need? Or will 5G become a technology for the few?

Join this session for an honest, provocative and direct discussion on the future of 5G, and its role in bridging the digital divide.

Seminar: IoT SAFE – Robust and Effective IoT Security at Scale

Wednesday, 26 February 2020 | 13:30 – 15:00

Fira Gran Via, Conference Centre CC1.1, South Entrance (Level 1)

This seminar explores how the SIM can be used as a hardware secure element, or ‘Root of Trust’, to provide end-to-end protection for IoT data communications.

IoT SAFE (IoT SIM Applet For Secure End-2-End Communication), which has been developed by the mobile industry, enables IoT device manufacturers and IoT service providers to leverage the SIM as a robust, scalable and standardised hardware Root of Trust for IoT solutions – rather than proprietary security mechanisms which can increase cost, workload and complexity.

Join this seminar to understand how your company can utilise IoT SAFE and learn from leading industry experts about:

  • IoT SAFE and the security capabilities of the SIM
  • Cross-industry enablement of IoT SAFE
  • IoT SAFE use cases from key IoT vertical markets

Smart Farming: Weed Elimination with 5G Autonomous Robots
The project deploys a Robotti robot, a diesel-hydraulics autonomous tool carrier from Danish development company, Agrointelli . The robot was fitted with cameras, to capture images of the plants in the ground, and precision sprayers connected to a tank of herbicide.
The image data captured by the camera is sent from the robot to an edge computing server via the 5G connection. Within the edge server, the data is processed through a machine learning algorithm using a complete classification model. In this model, the machine is “trained” to recognise potato plants and deploy a precision application of herbicide.
