The media event on "5G Action Plan: from Research to Trials" will be
held on the 28th of February from 14:00 to 15:30 in Press
Conference Room 1, in the Media Village at the Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona. Analysts and media are cordially invited to join. To register
please go to: www.5g-ppp.eu/5GIA_event_at_MWC2017.
This event is supported by the Euro-5G project under the H2020
framework program of the European Commission.
During the media event, Roberto Viola, Director General of DG CONNECT at
the European Commission, will discuss with executives from leading
global technology member companies, such topics as the emergence of 5G
standards, prospects for investments in new infrastructure, and the
needs and expectations of industries involved in 5G deployment. A major
discussion point will be technology experiments, validation tests, and
eventuall field trials as outlined in the 5G Action Plan.
SES has been contributing its expertise to a number of important 5G
initiatives aimed at timely deployment of 5G in Europe, including the 5G
Action Plan. In July 2016, SES signed the "5G Manifesto for Timely
Deployment of 5G in Europe", a document fostering effective interactions
and collaboration with industry verticals and the formation of new
ecosystems. In 2017, Christine Leurquin, Vice President, Institutional
Relations and Communications at SES, was elected Vice-Chair of the 5G-IA
Board.
To provide further global and scalable next generation connectivity, SES
has invested in high throughput Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO)
satellites and O3b's Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites. The
combination of GEO's high-powered global coverage and MEO's low latency
capabilities will accelerate 5G deployment.
Once deployed, 5G will be the key enabler for the digitalisation of
industry and services sectors, delivering substantial performance and
capacity improvements for personal, public and enterprise
communications, including the automotive, transportation, healthcare,
energy, manufacturing, and media and entertainment sectors.
