Starlink use cases – particularly rural inclusion, pop-up LTE, ships and critical comms

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/360280

Starlink orbits at about 550km, which results in lower latency, in comparison to GEO satellites which orbit around 35,786km. Each satellite features a compact, flat-panel design that minimizes volume, allowing for a dense launch stack to take full advantage of the launch capabilities of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. join us to learn more about Starlink Speaker(s): Tim Belfall Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/360280

3GPP Standards for 5G New Radio: from Release 15 and beyond

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Event to introduce the 3GPP standardization process and discuss the existing and future specifications for 5G New Radio. The fifth and latest generation of cellular mobile communication protocols (5G) is meant to address use cases well beyond the next decade. The first set of technical specifications for 5G, also referred to as “New Radio” or NR in 3GPP, were completed as part of 3GPP Release 15. The standardization work for 5G NR continues and new features are continuously added to address more advanced use cases and verticals. This presentation will provide an overview of the standardization process in 3GPP and an overview of the technical features for Release 16 and Release 17 of the specifications. The presentation will conclude with an outlook of future wireless evolution. Speaker(s): Benoît Pelletier, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
