Looking after us at work: where in the warehouse?

Indoor positioning has gradually eased its way into our lives. First it appeared in large public places: travel hubs, shopping malls. Then it found an increasingly vital role in large industrial buildings, eventually moving via the workplace and into the home.

What does 'true' 5G mean?

Delayed gratification? The hype around 5G has not yet materialised. Is this another bubble set to burst, or should we wait and be grateful for true game-changing technology? This event is the first of four in this month's Virtual Network SIG series: Realising the 'true 5G' dream.

Open standards and orchestration to achieve end-to-end virtualised networks

At a technology crossroads – which way should our industry turn? Bespoke, specialised, agile (and face more delay) or give the people what they want, open-source style (mass-market lower cost but slower speeds)? YOU decide. This event is the second of four in this month's Virtual Network SIG series.

Private networks, slicing and meeting the needs of industrial users

The commerciality question – could 5G be the open door to increased revenue? Maybe. Is it possible to create a scaled-down private network that doesn’t compromise user experience? That’s the real question. This event is the third of four in this month's Virtual Network SIG series.

Deploying virtualised 5G networks in practice

Managing expectations. Rolling out 5G in real life, on-the-ground situations, is of course a multi-step challenge (no more fixed hardware, density, creating standalone networks), but is the ‘dream’ too far-fetched? This is the final event of four in this month's Virtual Network SIG series.
