5G Connect Advanced - The Summit for Advanced Mobile Solutions

5G Connect Advanced 2024 at Fraunhofer IIS offered a comprehensive insight into the diverse world of 5G and 5G Advanced. On the grounds of the multi-site 5G Testbed Industry 4.0, participants received an extensive overview of the latest research results and their practical applications across various indoor rooms and outdoor areas. Experts from research and industry presented innovative solutions in the following areas:

  • 5G infrastructure: campus networks, non-terrestrial networks NTN, network management, Open RAN, security...
  • 5G use cases: Automotive industry, emergency services, industry, logistics, agriculture...
  • Future technologies: AI, quantum computing, ICAS....

Live demonstrations included quantum reinforcement learning, 5G positioning, predictive QoS for teleoperation, V2V, hyperconnectivity, locating emergency services, and much more.

Attendees got an initial insight into the topics of 5G Connect Advanced.
