The 5G Journey (2023 - Session 2)

The 5G Journey... and the 6G Destination

Hyperconverged TMT Networks

Space + Terrestrial

November 2nd . 2023 . 14:00 UK Time

5G is the fifth generation wireless cellular technology standard, and quite unlike previous generations, that unlocks the potential of ground breaking technologies such as AI, Augmented Reality and IoT. This programme will explore the 5G impact on major industry use cases such as manufacturing and smart factories, autonomous transport systems, maritime operations, in-flight connectivity, public safety, energy and utilities and much more besides, as we advance towards a 6G future, generating revenues measured in the trillions and data volumes measured in hundreds of zettabytes. Again, both Space and Earth based wireless communications technologies will hyperconverge in a new age of service delivery.

Digital Teleport – How the 5G Journey runs through Cloud and Virtualization (click here)

Synopsis: Transformations are never isolated events! In the space segment, the emergence of new satellites and constellations presents unprecedented scale and flexibility. Simultaneously, on the terrestrial side, 5G offers enhanced service flexibility, edge computing, and automation capabilities. In our presentation, we will explore how cloud and virtualization technologies within a digital teleport play a pivotal role in facilitating these transformative changes both in space and on the ground.

Realization of NTN based on O-RAN Architecture (click here)

Synopsis: As part of 3GPP Rel-17 and beyond there is also evolution being planned for Satellite networks (NTN) based on 5G network architecture. Ubiquitous networks based on TN, NTN (and HAPS) is also aligned as one of the visions for 6G based Network architecture. The session captures the System solution and architecture considerations in realization of NTN Networks aligned with O-RAN architecture.

Non-Terrestrial Networks Journey to 5G (click here)

Synopsis: For decades Satellite networks provide communication services for use-cases that are beyond terrestrial networks capabilities. While terrestrial mobile networks are multi-vendor interoperable 3GPP-based solutions, non-terrestrial satellite networks are vendor-dependent DVB-optimized solutions. Market forces are pushing for standard integration and unification of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks to provide ubiquitous mobile communication and gain the full advantages of 5G. This presentation discusses the journey of Non-Terrestrial Networks to 5G, covering use-cases, standardization efforts and market evolution.
