5G Architectural System Design

Course Code PWS272

Duration 3 Day Course

Price £2,085

Course Description
The stakes are high. 5G has the potential to open new B2B businesses, whilst operators are currently facing a stagnation of their revenues in many developed
economies.

Market estimates point at a potential of € 550 billion extra revenues in 2025 from vertical industries, adding to the classical broadband consumer markets. The
“connectivity package” released in September 2016 by the European Commission has thus proposed an ambitious strategy for 5G in Europe.

It includes a new connectivity strategy moving Europe in the Gigabit/ s connectivity era, a reform of the telecom regulatory framework with specific spectrum and
investment friendly measures, and a 5G Action Plan with a package of actions to put in place the right framework conditions for the launch of 5G in Europe in
2020.

European efforts are indeed key to keep abreast of a fierce global competition. The USA and South Korea have already announced the deployment of early
versions of 5G technology in 2018.

Japan plans 5G introductions in 2020, and China pursues a bold technological development plan. These pre‐commercial initiatives are putting high pressure on
the quick release of the required standards. In that context, it is imperative that the European 5G strategy targeting vertical markets gets quickly validated, both
from a technology and business perspective.
