Background: ATIS is taking a leadership role to ensure 5G is positioned to deliver the long-promised convergence of all services onto a common framework, with corresponding enhancements to efficiency, security and service velocity. By representing North American 5G requirements globally, ATIS will leverage members’ thought leadership and the region’s recognized role as the incubator of new business models. In his presentation McEachern will:
- Overview the ATIS program
- Examine current drivers for 5G; mobile broadband, IoT and critical communications
- Discuss how 5G will be required to meet growing demands
- Define practical scenarios
- Address service migration strategies and the phasing of 5G deployment
- Explore the 5G environment from a ‘disruptive’ perspective
Background: 5G North America, formerly known as LTE North America, offers attendees the
chance to find out how the most innovative carriers are getting “5G-ready,” along with how they are optimizing their current LTE networks through LTE-A, VoLTE, Video and RAN evolution. As the industry moves towards next generation connectivity, the show will hear from IoT experts for the first time to share use cases for 5G networks, while the demo zone in the exhibition will show hands on examples of what the future holds.
