13:00 - 14:00

Participants will be able to select one of seven parallel seminars.

Security – trust in services and infrastructure

In an IT world which increasingly uses cloud technologies in its implementations, and which will be home to billions of communicating devices, questions of security become more and more pressing: Can we trust all the IT machinery of services and infrastructure? Do existing IT & Telco assurance approaches give good enough answers here? Do we need more technical means for trustworthiness and will that really help?

Industrial IoT: Mind the gap

The Internet of Things (IoT) hype is peaking, and there are growing expectations on Industrial IoT (IIoT) to bring about a new industrial revolution. With hype comes the risk of a growing gap between expectations and reality. Join Ericsson experts, researchers, and industry insiders for a reality check and an open discussion about the future of IIoT.

5G as a trigger for industry innovation
Using a real-life example from the industry of how digitalization boosts productivty, we examine goals and roadmaps of industry digitalization. We’ll also look into the crystal ball for future challenges and opportunities. Welcome to join, learn and share your views!

Digitalizing industries with AI and Machine Learning
Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are revolutionizing the world, but what will this mean in practice for industries with digitalization ambitions? Industries like mining, manufacturing, and transport are already changing; what values can AI and machine learning bring to those industries? In this seminar we will discuss how AI and machine learning can successfully support industrial processes and operations, and how far the industry will be able to get in 3-5 years.

Future of computing – from Cloud to Quantum
From AI and IoT to 5G for industrial transformation, all rely on a computing platform that needs to be dynamic and scalable. In the long run, classic computing will not be sufficient. That is where emerging computing technologies, such as Quantum computing, could close the gap and transform how industries work. In this seminar, we will discuss how future computing could impact applications (e.g. machine intelligence, cryptography, communication) and the industry.

How will AR/VR change everyday life

Augmented and Virtual Reality are no longer just buzz words, but signify technologies rapidly moving towards main stream. According to a recent Ericsson ConsumerLab report, no less than 1 in 3 consumers will be VR users by 2020.

What will this mean for society and for us as consumers? What is in store going forward, and how will our lives change? This and much more will be covered in our highly interactive panel debate!

Global mobile industry ready for full-scale development of 5G NR

The first 5G New Radio specification was completed by 3GPP in December 2017. This seminar will highlight selected aspects of this NR Rel-15 standard, such as multi-antennas, wide spectrum range, LTE-NR architecture and protocol options, and low latency. We will discuss massive MIMO, frequency bands possibilities for NR and 5G, connections to LTE, LTE-NR architectural and protocol options, and latency-optimized protocols.
