Crowds gathered from midday on Saturday 17th March to collect their tickets for Layered Realities, a weekend of 5G exploration and experimentation. All ages came to hear, engage, and play with the weekend’s activities, from those who had no previous awareness of 5G, to those curious about just how the theoretical could be made possible.
The interactions of physics and economics that help 5G add up
There is a constant negotiation between the disciplines of physics and economics; a tension between the natural science of matter and energy, and the dynamics of markets. The evolution of the telecoms industry, at the forefront of technology, shows how physics changes economics, whilst economics demands new solutions from physics and science. This is especially true in the area of 5G where optical technologies, which provide the core network bandwidth, and radio technologies for access, are being pushed to new heights. How does this play out? In this article, our VP of Engineering, Nathan Sowatskey, explores this tension.

Read MoreThree vital steps to commercial 5G
5G networks are starting to become a technical reality this year, and will certainly be the words on everyone’s lips at Mobile World Congress (MWC18), which we’ll be attending in Barcelona later this month (Hall 7 Stand 7B13). 5G will have a huge impact on how we live in the connected world. The goal is high bandwidth, low-latency, and ubiquitous coverage. Potential applications range from predictive healthcare, enabled by connected devices that monitor our health, to increased efficiencies in city planning, based on widespread use of sensors and public access systems.
