WWRF 37 conference "New Businesses empowered by 5G" - register now

@Communication Technology

October 5-7, 2016 at the University of Kassel

New businesses empowered by 5G

The rapid pace of digitalization has a major impact on the value chains of vertical markets and industries, including healthcare, transport, logistics, production and energy, as well as smart cities, education and information in the public sectors. This offers opportunities for the information and communication technology (ICT) sector, vertical industries and new market players to bring new and innovative solutions to the market.

5G is a key element in designing new solutions that meet the different needs of industries for IT connectivity, storage and processes. Each new direction of 5G, from enhanced mobile broadband to supporting multiple simultaneous connections for the Internet of Things, with high reliability and low latency, for secure real-time control applications, offers opportunities for vertical industries to utilize these advanced capabilities.

Fundamental advances, such as the concept of network slicing, will allow 5G to become a "system of systems" for a wide range of customers. This will be supported by a new community of developers and entrepreneurs who will implement a new wave of technological innovations for vertical applications.

The WWRF is at the center of this process. With its vertical industry platforms, the WWRF creates a bridge between ICT and the vertical industries.

At the meeting from October 05 to 07, 2016 in Kassel, these topics will be addressed in workshops, lectures, scientific papers and tutorials. The conference offers the opportunity to promote and discuss new developments.
