Professor Arturo Azcorra, one of the top European experts on the fifth generation of mobile communication networks (5G), has been invited by the European Commission (EC) to present 5TONIC at the upcoming EU-China Summit on 5G. 5TONIC is an open research and innovation laboratory focused on 5G technologies and headquartered at the Madrid research institute IMDEA Networks.
With the first 5G networks less than two years away, debate continues to rage about the exact nature of the technology and what it should and should not do.
5G technology will support the Internet of Things. The number of connected terminals will be multiplied by 150 and will exceed one million million.
As a result of its Alliance with 5TONIC, an organization created by TELEFÓNICA and IMDEA Networks Institute and of which ERICSSON is also a member, the IFEMA LAB will work on the development of the 5G technology to be applied in the fields of tourism and trade fairs, whose developments and functionalities will be shown in FITUR 2018
