5G: Opportunities and Challenges

Опубликовано 27 июня 2016, 22:02

The demand for Internet speeds continues to explode with the new applications such as augmented reality, artificial intelligence on mobile devices, and Internet of Things. As more and more wireless devices connect to the Internet and more and more data flows to and from the cloud, the wireless spectrum once deemed sufficient to handle such traffic quickly is getting stretched. The challenges include enabling 1–100 Gigabits/sec of speeds per device to 1,000x more devices within 10-millisecond latency at lower costs and longer battery lives. Come and learn about how 5G promises to overcome these challenges from both technical and policy perspectives of a panel of prominent academic and Microsoft researchers.
