Overview for CWTEC 2019: 5G, Satellites & Magic MIMO

A brief description about this Activity.

With 5G moving from theory into practice, this one day event will explore in intimate detail the new technologies that are transforming the mobile network.Take for example spectrum. Frequencies that had been considered worthless are now underpinning 5G deployments with the help of some clever engineering - and massive MIMO. Massive MIMO is not massive at all, but can bring enormous benefit when it comes to increasing capacity and improving coverage. Unsurprisingly its referred to in some circles as the magic MIMO. What role is massive MIMO going to play in the future - and how massive can the operators go?Elsewhere in the access network, satellites have long been used for providing emergency communications, broadband in hard to reach areas and as backhaul for cellular networks. However, the long round trip time of signals for medium earth orbit (MEOs) and geostationary orbit (GEOs) satellites have prevented them from moving outside of this niche. With many low earth orbit (LEO) mega constellations emerging, satellites are now a potential mass enabler of 5G, standards permitting. But what contributions from satellites can we realistically expect?At CW TEC 2019, we will focus on new 5G technologies that are changing the industry today, the consequences of which will reverberate long into the future. With a particular focus on the engineering challenges of 5G access networks and last mile connectivity including delivering on latency targets, or providing coverage to rural areas - the agenda will give delegates access to the opinions and experience of prominent subject matter experts from across the telecommunications industry.
