1. Impact of 5G 5G will change how we live, work, and interact 5G Vision centered on diversity Applications, devices, density / coverage, performance. Flexibility living network that adapts based on context, content, conditions. One size does not fit all. Services enabled by low-latency, high-throughput, and mission critical availability. Remote Surgery 2. 5G Enabling Technologies The 5G Transport Network 5G means more than a New Radio, New Access Network, and New Core What will 5G mean to the transport network? Overall 5G themes apply: flexible, adapt based on context, content, etc. InterDigital s Technology Crosshauling and mmw Wireless Transport 3.
