5G Forum

04/24/2019 - 04/25/2019

---

The 5G Forum is consolidated as the main event of reference specifically on the 5G in Spain, and will be held on Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th April in the Digital Content Hub in Malaga top national and international experts, with the participation of companies and speakers from more than 20 countries.

The agenda of the 5G Forum, which includes 30 keynotes and panels, has been announced today in the City of Malaga by the Councillor for Innovation and New Technologies, Mario Cortés, and by the CEO of Medina Media Events, Ricardo Medina, who organizes the event.

One of the objectives of the 5G Forum is to become a reference forum in which, two months after the Mobile World Congress in Barcelonacompanies present their novelties and projects in a less frenetic and much more personalized way to a very specialized public, limited to 250 attendees.

The four main Spanish operators (Telefónica, Orange, Vodafone and MásMóvil) have already confirmed their participation in the 5GForum and in the coming weeks will unveil the names of their speakers and specific topics. Orange, which sponsors this event, will launch this year 35 scenarios for the use of the 5G network in Barcelona, Seville, Santiago de Compostela, Vigo, Malaga, Valencia and Bilbao, within the framework of the aid programme for pilot projects related to the new 5G mobile technology. In this way you will see, in real scenarios, the great advantages provided by 5G in areas such as robotization, tourism, virtual classrooms or connected cars.

MAXIMUM NATIONAL EXPECTATION

One of the most interesting attractions of the 5GForum will be the presentation in society of the two large pilot projects (each of 10 million euros), which the Government will allocate in the coming weeks. The Telecommunications sector is waiting for this announcement, whose winners will have their first examination in Malaga before the top specialists of the 5G in our country.

Other of the points of maximum interest of this second edition of the 5GForum will be the presentation by Antonio Fernández-Paniagua, from the Ministry of Economy and Business, on the status of the National Implementation Plan of the 5G. In addition, Fernández-Paniagua will arrive at the Malaga meeting with the last minute of the European Commission, which has called a special meeting for 24th April in Brussels.

For his part, the director of the National 5G Observatory (ON5G), Federico Ruiz, will present his agency’s action plan for 2019 and 2020 in relation to the 5G in the whole of Spain at the Digital Content Hub in Malaga.

INTERNATIONALIZATION

The great advance of this second edition of the 5GForum of Malaga is its internationalization, adding new sponsors and first level speakers.

In addition, polytechnic universities from Spain, Denmark, Germany, Greece, United Kingdom and Malta will be present through different public-private projects. For example, the pan-European project 5Genesis, participated among others by universities of Malaga, Limassol, Berlin, Athens and Surrey, will be presented at the 5GForum by its technical director, UMA professor Pedro Merino.

The American multinational Cisco, world leader in Internet networks, is also participating this year as a sponsor. With more than 100 5G projects underway globally, 40 service providers are already field-testing Cisco’s 5G Now solutions. Virginia Teixeira, head of Cisco for Service Providers at EMEAR, (Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia) will demonstrate the company’s vision.
