› Transmission point 2 and 3 are about 16 m from the middle of the track

– Highest requirement on selecting correct beam in time

› Typical beam with is 4-5 results in a beam width of 1.1-1.4 m

Launch of 5G program for us”5g innovators initiative”

• Drive technology/industry/academia collaboration in U.S. to explore,

test and innovate industry transformations with 5G network and

distributed cloud technology

• First area to explore: Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

• Honeywell, GE and the University of California - Berkeley join as initial

participants

• Unique proof-of-concept approach to result in blueprints for new usage

models to accelerate the adoption of 5G technology and standards

development driving business transformations.



› 5G System – Openness and horizontal network end to end (5G is cloud/core, control, access and devices/sensors)

› Global ecosystem – Multiple use cases with one global eco-system (Leveraging the scale of 4G/LTE)

› 5G enabling new business – Operators driving growth in IoT, media and industry

transformation (New capabilities for digitalization and mobilization)

› The Network platform - Relevance to other industries (Speed is essential to position networks in the global web environment)

› Industry alignment - Standardization and open source approach (A broader set of use cases requires cross industry collaboration)

5g success factors



› Managing massive global scale with 100X-1000X number of devices

› Integration of enterprises in the global mobile eco-system

› Multi-band wireless technology for mixed spectrum license models

› Security at all levels and in all nodes
