About 5G-XCast
The 5G-Xcast project is focused on Broadcast and Multicast Communication Enablers for the 5G of Wireless Systems. The project will develop point-to-multipoint (PTM) communication capabilities for 5G. The technology solutions will primarily target the technical requirements of the Media & Entertainment (M&E) vertical. 5G-Xcast brings the M&E vertical into 5G-PPP, bringing together for the first time major and small and medium size players from mobile/fixed/broadcast industries.

5G-XHaul final demonstration day
2018-06-27 09:00 - 18:00
The 5G PPP 5G-XHaul project holds its final demonstration on June 27th 2018.

The 5G-XHaul solution has been integrated in a real network in the city of Bristol, UK, consisting of a combination of novel wireless and optical technologies which are autonomously managed by a software defined control plane.
At the final demonstration day, 5G-XHaul will showcase the transport of backhaul and fronthaul services simultaneously throughout a single infrastructure, as well as the benefits of having an SDN control plane managing an heterogeneous backhaul network encompassing millimeter wave and Sub-6 hardware.

5GCAR @ EuCNC'18
2018-06-18 09:00 - 2018-06-21 17:00
5GCAR is organising a special session at EuCNC’18 on “Reality check for Connected Autonomous Driving”.

This special session will be dedicated to advances in 5G V2X communications and the vision of deploying such advances in connected and autonomous cars. With the development of ultra-low latency, extremely high reliability and massive device access in 5G, the ambitions for smart driving applications will soon become reality. Therefore, the session brings together experts from telecom and automotive industry to discuss:

What are the desired use cases in the connected and autonomous cars and when are we expecting them?
What are the challenges for telecommunication network, for device manufacturers as well as car manufacturers, and how each sector is addressing those?
What is the status of current standards and spectrum regulations in supporting those challenges?
What are the lessons learnt from experimentation?

Important dates
Submission deadline: April 27th, 2018
