IET Colloquium on Millimetre-wave and Terahertz Engineering & Technology Advert

Mobile and fixed networks have reached a point of unprecedented change as each attempt to meet the insatiable demand for data that is essentially driven by smart phones and tablets. In order to meet the huge demand for increasing capacity, ubiquitous super-fast connectivity and seamless service delivery several major leaps in technology development are needed. Hence a number of research initiatives on 5G wireless technology have been launched around the world recently including the 5G PPP an EU-funded collaborative industry-led research totalling €1.4 Billion. Also frequency regulation and standardization activities will be launched very soon for the next generation standard. This IET event will bring together industry leaders, innovators, and researchers, as well as regulators and policy makers, all presenting up-to-the-minute views on this emerging technology. Discussions will include potentially disruptive technologies, spectrum policies, future business models and the latest key aspects of research on 5G. The event also provides a valuable opportunity to meet and interact with the 5G drivers in terms of wireless industry, players, researchers and stakeholders.
