Introduction

In preparation for delivery of 5G services for the 2018 Winter Olympics, KT Telecom will host IWPC members in Seoul to explore innovation and advances in network infrastructure and user equipment. Specific use cases are emerging as candidates for early prioritization, including enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine type communications and ultra-reliable/low latency communications. As standards for 5G will be in the melting pot for some time, this workshop will provide an opportunity to assess initial technology drivers as well as maturity and timing of prospective 5G technology.

Workshop Goals

  • Assess requirements and expectations of key 5G stakeholders and influencers
  • Explore early “pre-standards” 5G plans, opportunities and implementation challenges
  • Understand how plans depart from LTE deployments and roadmaps
  • Debate trade-offs for regional and harmonized global 5G plans
  • Understand what can realistically be achieved by 2018 and towards 2020?
