Introduction

Considering new frequency bands as an extension of existing cellular use-cases and how sensor connectivity relates to existing 4G and to 5G. Exploring connected sensors for new use-cases to mimic human sensory systems - Robots, Artificial Intelligence (AI) – What role will THz and higher frequency bands play – considering how this will come into the market place and what will the challenges be for antennas etc.

Workshop Goals

What is the business case for IoT beyond low throughput M2M
What bands are being considered
What are the emerging IoT use-cases (i.e. robotics, cars, etc) and their respective implications
What is the state of the art in embedded modems, multiband mmWave products, fixed wireless, and smartphones?
Which bands will show up first, what will be twinned?
How do robots mimic humans 5 senses? High frequency – Vision, Low frequency - Hearing, etc.
Automation is currently mainly wired in factories - will this go wireless - how does this relate to IoT?
