09:00 - 09:10Broadband Forum 5G BASe Workshop

5G promises to be a game-changer not only in termsof advanced broadband speeds, reach, and userexperience, but also as a catalyst for networktransformation and services convergence. While thefuture of broadband for consumers and businessesalike – from autonomous cars and smart communitiesto industrial IoT and immersive education – will bedramatically transformed by 5G, the operational andtechnical requirements to deliver these new serviceswill be profound. What will be the reality of a 5G worldfor both consumers and service providers, and whatrole will “fixed” broadband play in enabling these newservices? The Broadband Forum’s 5G BASe workshopwill explore the impact and opportunity of 5G from allangles and outline the steps necessary to ensure themass market success of this promising technology.

14:05 - 14:20PREMIUM: Keynotes

With a new European Parliament legislature electedthis year and designated European Commissioners inthe process of passing the parliamentary hearings, theimportance of Very High Capacity Networks remainshigh on political agendas. Some Europeans alreadysee 5G being deployed in cities, more are about towelcome it. Technologies boosted by digitalinfrastructures, such as Artificial Intelligence,Connected and Autonomous Driving, or Smart Cities,are becoming reality.

As expectations are high for telecom operators, so dothe challenges. Equipping the digital enablers with theright investment and demand incentives will be crucial.How do we find the right balance?

Connection-Oriented Smart Home


Wi-Fi technology is the mainstream way of broadbandcoverage in the family, but the Wi-Fi technology ideasand product realization still have some gap betweenuser's good experience of using and reality , mainlyreflected in

• A、Because Wi-Fi's characteristic user experienceis influenced by the user's environment.

• B、When Wi-Fi 6 comes, there will be more ways toimprove the user experience.

• C、In terms of product form, such as G. hn, thereare more diversified product forms and ways ofusing them to supplement Wi-Fi's indoor coverage.

So

• A、The Fiberhome adopts the flexible strategyadjustment of Cloud + Terminals to realize Wi-Fiflexible configuration algorithm which can betteradapt to the actual state of various user families.

• B、Full support for Wi-Fi 6 products to improveuser experience through new protocol features.

• C、All products (including G. HN form) fully meetthe diverse networking needs of users.

5G Vertical Use Cases & Monetisation


5G is transforming the business model used for 3Gand 4G, with what & how we connect becoming farmore important than download speeds. This sessionwill discuss how 5G will usher in a new era foroperators, as they move beyond simply being atransport pipe to become an enabler of new customerexperiences. Gerry will provide a view on how BTEnterprise is adopting a vertical solutions approach to5G, working in partnership with customers to co-createinnovative new solutions. It will also examine how thisapproach, in conjunction with related services such asnetwork slicing, big data platforms and security, willcreate new growth & revenue opportunities for telcosgoing forward.

5G mmWave is Coming…. Is Your NetworkReady?


5G networks are upon us and this next generation ofwireless communications is being powered, in part, byextremely high frequency millimeter wave (mmWave)technology. Millimeter wave frequencies dramaticallyincrease bandwidth availability and data transferspeeds, arguably replacing the need for costly wiredfiber. High frequency mmWave technology will be aninstrumental component of 5G deployments in manycities and dense urban environments, powering data insports stadiums, malls, convention centers, andbasically anywhere data congestion is problematic.

Service providers, therefore, must ask themselves acrucial question: “Is my network ready?” Join thisinsightful keynote speech to hear first-hand howservice providers can smartly, economically andsmoothly evolve their existing network infrastructureto accommodate a massive increase in mobile datatraffic.

Open Source has been billed as making Network R&Dand Softwarization cheaper, by breaking vendor lock-in, and quicker to standardise. Has that been so?Alternatively, if Open Source has not deliverednecessarily cheaper networks, could it instead providesomething far more valuable – a way to engage topdeveloper talent in the great transition from Physical toVirtual Networks. Following on from April’s announcedMOU between the Linux Foundation & ETSI how areStandards and OS bodies continuing to converge?Finally – with an explosion of Open Source initiatives,most recently in Edge Computing, is there likely to be aseries of group consolidations in the near future?

• Enterprises, SMEs, verticals and consumers’demands are increasing: higher broadband speeds,adaptive service behavior, flexible resourcemanagement, low effort service provisioning andreal-time service assurance and more makingautomation a must, not a luxury.

• Solution? A multi-layer AI/ML reference modelstandardized to fit various use cases of highinterest to the operators and their partners.Designed in-line with the ETSI GANA (GenericAutonomic Networking Architecture) standardizedframework for Autonomic Management & Control(AMC) of Networks and Services.

• This model uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) andMachine Learning (ML) mechanisms on differentlayers (network, service, application andstakeholder) for shaping the behavior that bestsuits AMC objectives.

• A new concept of “Market Place for AI Models forAMC” as a 5G use-case to demonstrate thebenefits and value creation at the touchpoints andadded-value to B2B customers and serviceproviders (beyond cost optimization).

• Operationalized ETSI standardized GANA multi-layer AI reference model for AMC, in ETSI 5G PoCsdemonstrating Cross-Doman Federated GANAKnowledge Planes for Autonomic 5G Networks.

What Key Device will own the Connected Home


'Voice-first' control is changing the way we accessentertainment and information and is becomingcentral to controlling the smart home. However, ifservice providers want to have a key role in changingthe way people enjoy their entertainment, obtaininformation, and interact with their connected home,through a more seamless integrated consumerexperience, they’ll need something more powerful thattoday’s set-tops. They’ll need a device that can reduceclutter and the number of Wi-Fi devices in the home,and provide for greater cross-service delivery flexibilitywith improved economics than that of multipleindividual devices. What would this device look like?What could it do? How will it interact with Wi-Fi, 5G,IoT, and the Pay-TV and broadband networks? Visitthis session to find out more.
