Don’t miss this IET India Digital Conversation on use cases of mobile connectivity leveraging 5G technologies. Join our expert panel to find out which applications could bring the most benefits and learn about experiences gained in India and in other regions of the world!
There has been a clear traction for the roll-out of 5G networks in the world since the launch of the first 5G services in South Korea at the end of 2018. As of January 2021, 61 countries have live 5G networks. India is about to embark on the 5G journey, after running several successful pilot projects. The country is currently defining its regulations and preparing to release spectrum for commercial 5G service.
5G is poised to dramatically transform industries and society as we know them. These new evolving telecommunication networks, that are high bandwidth, low latency and ultra-reliable, will not just supercharge smart phones - they will provide a new platform that will power the next generation of solutions that will transform sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, public safety and transportation.
5G technology and remote connectivity has also provided some solutions to the challenges raised by the pandemic in the last 18 months. At the beginning of this year, the Department of Telecom of the Government of India has launched a hackathon to identify and support 100 top use cases of 5G technology.
So, what are the 5G use cases which will bring the most benefits to Indian society at large? What are the conditions to unleash this potential? And how can India benefit from International cooperation and from experiences gained in other regions of the world?
The relationship between the EU and India has been intense over the last decades at the regulatory level, at the standard development or industrial cooperation level, as well as in terms of broader cultural and societal exchanges. There can only be advantages to share experiences and practices across borders, among major stakeholders of our digitally connected ecosystems.
In our next IET India Digital Conversation on June 25, 2021, driven by our Standardisation Partners ETSI and TSDSI, we will bring an expert panel of speakers from different countries and backgrounds, who will explore the uses cases of mobile connectivity and how 5G could enable breakthrough innovations in products, services, processes for the benefits of all.
