With 25 billion connected things projected to be in use by 2025, there are many questions to ask. What impact will this have on economic growth? How can an IoT enabled world encourage more financial, gender and minority inclusion across both urban and rural communities?

In this session, we will focus on the transformative impact IoT is having on society and whether the technology can remain a cause of optimism for the future.

To ensure timely deployments of 5G infrastructures and services, policy frameworks must be adapted and be 5G ready.

This session will address the impact of 5G and digitalisation, and how policy can play a role in supporting their successful and economically sustainable implementation.

Jane Rygaard Head of Marketing, Mobile Networks, Nokia Wednesday, 27th February 11:30 – 12:30, Hall 4, Auditorium 2 5G Cities: Connecting people here, there and everywhere There are all kinds of conversations about how to bring 5G into cities. As with the previous iterations of a wireless technology it is most likely there will be a prioritised sort-of rollout based on density and demand. As the dawn of 5G appears, there will be countless areas that will not allow for easy connectivity including dense urban areas where the number of connections will outstretch the needed capacity while building the infrastructure to connect rural areas is not cost effective. What is clear is that the infrastructure improvements inside of cities for connected sensors, cameras and other data creation devices, seem to be best done with a 5G upgrade path in mind. The opportunity for carriers to be much more than connectivity providers in tomorrow's cities is huge. City leaders are now well aware that new kinds of partnerships with carriers to plan for the future is key.
