Seminar 2: 5G Innovation and the future of wireless technology


The global telecommunications industry, valued at $2.1 trillion per annum, is already responsible for
6% of world GDP. Mobile communications data traffic is expected to increase 1,000 fold by 2020, by
which time there will be an estimated at least 50 billion Internet-capable devices. The growth in the
number of new applications running on the networks is accelerating, as ever more mobile devices
become the preferred route for Internet access. Such unprecedented data traffic growth requires the
urgent introduction of new 5G advanced technologies that maximise the use of the limited available
radio spectrum and provide for greener technologies and solutions.

The need for 5G disruptive innovation and standards will require unprecedented levels of collaboration
to achieve the continued growth of wireless technology adoption, spectrum usage and the next
generation of applications and services enabled through 5G

This session will examine approaches to 5G innovation and opportunities to collaborate:

Seminar 4: Cyber Security in the Mobile World

Date: Tuesday 26th February 2013 Time: 09:45 to 12:00 (09:15 for networking)

It is critical for all companies that they can do business in a safe way. 2012 saw major cyber-attacks
against multi-national companies, including mobile phone and telecoms companies. Open data, M2M,
small cells and other technologies are going to vastly increase the number of connected devices and
accessible data over the next few years, increasing the exposure of companies and individuals to a
cyber-attack. All of these rely on maintaining the security and stability of mobile networks. With the
continuing development of the “internet of things” it is vital that end users are secure.

This session will discuss what is meant by “Cyber Security” for mobile devices and networks, what the
future holds in terms of threats, how real those threats are and what security could be put in place to
secure technologies, businesses and customers.

Seminar 5: Smart UK’s most innovative mobile company finals 2013

The UK has traditionally been a leader in the mobile industry. Global giants like Vodafone and ARM
are headquartered in the UK. The UK is also a hotbed of smaller, disruptive companies that can turn
the industry on its head.

The search is on for the UK’s Most Innovative Mobile Companies with great ideas that have the
potential to disrupt the mobile industry globally. It may be a new technology that can transform mobile
phones across the world or a new use of established technology that will change what people do on
their mobile phones. It may even be a new way of doing something in a simpler and more elegant
fashion.

At this session we have brought together a judging panel that are experts in the mobile industry to
make the decision about the UK’s Most Innovative Mobile Company. The finalists will present at this
event in a “pitch off” and the winner will be picked by the judges to be crowned UK’s Most Innovative
Mobile Company.

Seminar 8: The Future of Spectrum usage workshop

Radio spectrum is essential for future Mobile services, in the UK alone an independent study, found spectrum
use was valued at £52 billion in 2011, an increase of 25% since a similar study was carried out in 2006. Mobile
accounted for nearly 60% of this value, with broadcasting 20%. Other sectors considered include the use of Wi-
Fi on mobiles, microwave links, satellite links and private mobile radio. The findings support worldwide plans to
release a significant amount spectrum to unlock growth and drive innovation in the economy.

Today’s communications landscape is founded on the release of licensed and licence-exempt spectrum for
communication devices. As demand has increased, the main users of large parts of the Spectrum have to
cooperate in coordinated “re-farming”, which involves rebuilding networks and re-equipping users with new
terminals or consumer devices. Often the new and old users suffer mutual interference at least for a period and
a large part of the coordination task is managing and solving interference problems, e.g. new licensees having
to supply filters or even replacing equipment to affected users.

This seminar will examine innovative approaches and new technologies to use Spectrum more efficiently and to
solve interference and co-existences in advance of spectrum re-farming.

 Introduction from chair, Geoff Varrall, Cambridge Wireless
 David Barker, Quintel,
 Paul Egan, Neul
 Iris Barcia, Keima
 Simon Fletcher, NEC
 Paul Evans, CEO, Sharedband

respond. Tablet usage has doubled in the last 12 months, and TVs are starting to be used
interactively. We’re using multiple devices simultaneously. Web and application enabled smart phones
are only the beginning.

This session will examine the technology and business opportunities to provide the capability to deliver
and manage evolving mobile content and applications. Each of the speakers will present case studies
and the speaking sessions will be followed by a panel Q&A to explore further opportunities in the
rapidly expanding market.
