Introduction

Millimeter Wave technology is widely used in sectors such as aerospace and defense, as well as mobile & telecom, consumer & commercial and healthcare. According to recent research, the commercial market for mmWave technologies whose frequency lies between 20 GHz and 300 GHz is expected to reach $1,699.1 Million by 2020 1.

This workshop will examine the potential to exploit mmWave technology opportunities beyond the traditional aerospace and defense markets, and explore drivers, restraints, opportunities, and current market trends, including how 5G wireless networks might be implemented to meet the demands for increased data rates and low latency applications. Can developments in components, antennas & transceiver, etc. will revolutionize the industry?
