Australia Beyond 5G Connectivity Summit
Venue: UTS Tech Lab, Botany, NSW, Australia
Time: 2:15pm-6:30pm (AEST)
Date: Tuesday 23 August 2022
With the deployment of 5G accelerating in Australia and the world, the mobile communications industry and the research community are facing two major challenges:
- How can we maximise the return on investment in 5G infrastructure?
- What are the emerging technologies we need to focus on for beyond 5G (B5G) systems?
The inaugural Australia Beyond 5G Connectivity Summit will seek to answer these critical questions by bringing together leading experts from Japan, Europe, US and Australia.
The summit will also explore how R&D collaborations between Australia and global mobile communications companies can realise the outputs industry is seeking.
Jointly hosted by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission, the University of Technology of Sydney and the Connectivity Innovation Network (CIN), the Australia Beyond 5G Connectivity Summit will be held at the state of the art UTS Tech Lab.
The summit will feature a keynote on Open RAN by:
Dr Sadayuki Abeta, Global Head of Open RAN Solutions, OREC evangelist , NTT DOCOMO
Other prominent speakers will include:
David Camerlengo, Global Sector Lead for Advanced Technology & Manufacturing Austrade
Dr Mikko Uusitalo, Head of Research, Radio Systems, Nokia Bell Labs
