As part of this agenda, the 5G-IA will participate in several sessions.
On the morning of the first day, Colin Willcock, Chair of the 5G-IA, is speaking in the 5G Trends and Promotion session, which aims to discuss the industrial views and 5G activities of each MoU signatory. This is followed in the afternoon by Uwe Herzog, representing the 5G-IA in the 5G Deployment and Service Provisioning panel discussion on operators’ activities on 5G deployment and service implementation and provisioning, and by Didier Bourse, Chair of the 5G-IA Trials WG, in the panel on Proof of Concept Trial and Solutions for 5G Services and Technologies.
“I’m really looking forward to the Seoul event,” said Colin. “This is an excellent opportunity for us to meet with our colleagues and stakeholders in the field and work together toward creating the best global 5G ecosystem possible.”
