DESCRIPTION:UK mobile network operators are rolling out 5G coverage across
  many UK cities this year. It’s claimed 5G will revolutionize business a
 nd provide significant growth in the UK economy\, but how will this be ach
 ieved?  What applications can we use 5G for which will deliver benefits to
  users\, businesses and large building owners &/or operators?\nThe UK 4G m
 obile networks delivers countrywide (91% geographic) download speeds of 10
 -40Mbps and 20-50Mbps in our cities\, which would be respectable speeds fo
 r a home fixed line broadband connection and delivers social media & video
  on the move.  Current headlines promise 5G will deliver 10x these downloa
 d speeds\, but fails to mention there is no Ofcom license requirement for 
 minimum coverage areas.\n\nIn this talk Colin Eddison\, CEO\, Herbert in-b
 uilding wireless\, will:\noutline what 5G (New Radio) is and the capabilit
 ies it provides: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)\, ultra-reliable & low l
 atency communication (uRLLC) and massive machine type communications (mMTC
 ) or massive IoT.  \noutline possible “killer application areas”: smar
 t buildings (e.g. building control\, IoT devices\, optimizing occupancy\, 
 etc.)\, connected & autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and industrial machines.\ni
 dentify the first 5G frequencies auctioned by Ofcom in April 2019 and the 
 current Mobile Network Operator (MNO) rollouts\ncover the current Ofcom pl
 an for future 5G license auctions\, the new frequencies\, intended applica
 tions and associated operator obligations (e.g. geographic coverage\, in-b
 uilding coverage\, shared rural masts).\noutline why an in-building mobile
  phone coverage solution may be required for your building\nhighlight the 
 technical requirements (e.g. JOTS) and the harsh commercial realities of d
 ealing with the MNOs\, together with the potential pitfalls of trying to i
 mplement a “quick & cheap” solution or no solution at all\, both of wh
 ich could significantly impact rental income.\n\nColin Eddison\nColin join
 ed Herbert in 1999 as Technical Director after spending nearly a decade wo
 rking in semiconductor research. He introduced DAS technology into Herbert
  Retail Ltd in 2012 resulting in the first UK installation of a Zinwave Di
 stributed Antenna System in Broomfield hospital\, Chelmsford in 2014 appro
 ved by EE\, O2 & Vodafone.  He now heads up Herbert In-Building Wireless L
 td and counts Sky (incl. HO)\, RBS (incl. HO)\, AstraZeneca (HO)\, Royal P
 apworth\, Addenbrooke’s and Broomfield hospitals\, Stanhope plc (Angel C
 ourt & White City Place)\, Manhattan Loft Gardens and UK Parliament (incl.
  The Palace of Westminster) amongst its clients.  Colin enjoys a good rela
 tionship with all four UK MNOs who have approved all of his DAS designs ac
 ross multiple DAS hardware vendors.\n\nAny member of the University may at
