The UPV, the European capital of 5G technology
Data privacy in 5G networks, the fight against the digital divide, and the challenges and opportunities of 6G technology will be the topics discussed at the V5GDays 2023
[ 29/11/2023 ]
The Universitat Politècnica de València has hosted the third edition of the V5G Days, which has once again gathered in our city the main national and international leaders in the field of 5G and professionals from the telecommunications sector to discuss and present the latest developments, achievements and challenges of the application of this technology to the industrial field.
Organised by the Mobile Communications Group of the iTEAM Institute of the UPV, the third edition of the V5G Days gives continuity to the success achieved in the first and second editions.
"In Spain, we have taken the initiative and have already launched the UNICO 6G R&D programme to develop technologies beyond the 5th generation, with dozens of projects led by entities with the greatest presence in the H2020 framework programme and the 5GPPP. In V5G Days, we put on the same stage the leaders in 6G research to tell us what the future of mobile networks will look like and what they are developing in their latest projects", highlights Narcís Cardona, director of the iTEAM Institute of the UPV.
From mobile network management with AI to holographic communication and a 5G remote driving competition.
Among other topics, the meeting presented the latest advances in artificial intelligence applied to the management of mobile networks or holographic communications and discussed issues of special interest such as data privacy in 5G networks, the fight against the digital divide or the challenges and opportunities of 6G technology. In this field, V5GDays 2023 included a workshop organised by the Joint Innovation Centre, iTEAM-Huawei, which examined the roadmap of this technology and its applications in areas such as autonomous driving.
In addition, V5G days also presented different demonstrations of the use of 5G technology, including a closed-circuit remote driving competition between two vehicles over 5G networks and videoconferences in the 5G Metaverse.
"5G technology is opening up an infinite field of applications and opportunities for us; it is the first mobile communication network that is faster than our senses, allowing machines, for example, to react and communicate with each other faster than we can, and thus react and act faster. This is key to remotely controlling an industrial machine with absolute safety, among many other applications. This technology covers sectors that traditionally have not been well solved with 4G, causing a new industrial revolution", emphasises Narcís Cardona.
This third edition of the V5G Days has had the collaboration of Huawei Technologies Düsseldorf GmbH, 5G Media Hub, Rohde & Schwarz Spain, Keysight Technologies Sales Spain, VIAVI Solutions, Nokia Spain, Tine Versey and Fivecomm as sponsors and Digital Future Society and AMETIC as technical sponsors.
