Martin Duckworth of Frontier today chaired a session on fifth generation mobile (5G) developments at the IIC Annual Conference in Brussels. The session included a panel with representatives from Ericsson, Juniper Networks, Vodacom and the City of London. The discussion covered the use cases that 5G technology was expected to address; the challenges in terms of technology, spectrum availability and infrastructure; and the regulatory intervention that could be required to enable 5G investment.

The IIC works to advance the debate and understanding of regulatory policy in the global communications industry through discussion, education and knowledge-sharing.
