USTTI Announces 5G Webinar Series

What is 5G? What are the 5G use cases, applications and standards? What steps have been taken in the United States to facilitate the deployment of 5G? What are the challenges faced by spectrum managers in a 5G world? What frequencies are impacted by the 5G standard? What impact will 5G have globally? What specific actions can regulators and the wireless industry take to ensure that we all reap the benefits of 5G in the near future? What role do satellites play in the 5G ecosystem?

As part of the USTTI’s ongoing efforts to maintain training we will conduct a series of webinars that attempt to answer these and other questions about 5G. Led by subject matter experts from Intel Corporation, The Federal Communications Commission, Ericsson, TCI and Inmarsat, the five webinars will be conducted on Monday August 3rd, Tuesday August 4th, Tuesday August 11th, Wednesday August 12th, and Thursday August 13th. The sessions will begin at 10:00 AM EDT and they will be two hours in length.
