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:

M2M for open and secure new services and applications.


It has been predicted that by 2020 there will be a rise from 6 billion (present day) to 50 billion digitally

identifiable, potentially linked, electronic devices on this planet. This proliferation of digitally identifiable

devices and the concurrent dramatic increase in pervasive data is creating disruptive opportunities and

possibilities.

This session will examine Machine to Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) topologies, systems

and the challenges related to the sheer scale of connected objects and open data systems. It will also

cover cross cutting ICT challenges to enable future eco-systems and services that cross sectors /

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 6: London 2012 publication launch seminar - ICT Solutions to cover major events,

stadiums and high density coverage


The London Olympics and Paralympics demonstrated the strength of the UK Information and

Communication Technologies (ICT) and technology supply chain sectors to deliver the most digitally

enabled Games ever, providing real time information, data, pictures, texts, phone calls and video

required for the Games.

These were the first ever social media Games – with www.London2012.com becoming one of the

most visited sports website in the world with 431 million visits, 109 million unique users, 15 million app

downloads and 4.73 billion page views. An estimated 4 billion spectators viewed the Games

worldwide.

At peak times, the network was carrying 60 gigabits of information a second, between 80 000

connections across 94 locations (four times the network capacity of the Beijing Games), setting the bar

for future Olympics and other major global sporting events. This seminar will explore lessons learned

from the Games and examine how these can be taken forward to future major projects.

Seminar 7: Leveraging Mobile for health and fitness applications and services

Date: Wednesday 27th February 2013 Time: 09:45 to 12:00 (09:15 for networking)

One of the biggest challenges facing all countries is that of maintaining wellbeing, delivering care to

those with chronic long term conditions and supporting vulnerable people in society. 21st century

health and care services will increasingly rely on greater use of technology, delivering healthcare in a

clinical setting, in the home, at work and during leisure time.

The need for more intelligent systems, lower operational expenditure and deployment costs, is driving

new ways of thinking about how we create, use, and share data and information. This session will

explore several aspects of Healthcare and Fitness solutions. The speakers assembled will present

different parts of the eco-system and will investigate the key enablers, technologies and potential new

systems for the next generation of advance connected Health Platforms. Agenda and confirmed

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.

seminar.



Seminar 9: The evolution of mobile content and applications


Consumers and customers are increasingly demanding and expecting to engage with content and

brands through mobile. Retailers and brands are looking to develop mobile strategies to develop their

businesses and meet these demands and expectations.

In the last 2 years our gadgets can see us and are starting to semi-intelligently listen to us and

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.
