The CW Prestigious Lecture: 5G – A new era in communication or a fight against gravity?

Brought to you by Cambridge Wireless

CW is delighted to present its 7th Prestigious Lecture with Sam Samuels, CTO for Cisco’s Mobility Business Group as our distinguished speaker.

Registration for this event is now closed.

About the event

Each generation of wireless technology has tried to improve upon the previous version, so what is 5G about? A new air interface or something else? What does 5G really mean and are we heading in the right direction given all the hype?

Join us for this lively and thought-provoking lecture and discussion chaired by Professor William Webb, CW Board Member and CEO at Weightless SIG. The evening will commence with refreshments in the Tower Lounge Bar. After the lecture will be the usual Q&A discussion followed by a networking drinks reception.
