5G Vertical User Workshop
5G networks are intended to bring a new disrupting ecosystem, where actors such as the Vertical industries (automotive, industry 4.0, health, media, security & public safety, energy,…) will be involved alongside the telecom operators, manufacturers, SMEs and Research Institutes.
This 5G Vertical Users Workshop aimed at establishing a collaborative event for strategic dialogue between industries and 3GPP by exchanging on future needs and upcoming standard developments. The workshop as a result, aimed at producing a report shared directly to 3GPP Project Coordination Group (PCG) as a mean to stimulate and facilitate greater involvement of the 5G Vertical Users in the 3GPP process.
The workshop was held in Brussels on 12th and 13th February, 2019. Please see the agenda and the link to the presentations below:
