3. What 5G is….. and what it isn’t
&
What makes it such a significant enabler of
change

4. 5G – Key Points
v 5G is not 4G…. it’s primarily business & industry focused
v 5G is a “network of networks”
v 5G in urban areas is dependent upon fibre
5G brings a number of critical improvements:
o Amount & speed of data transfer – a 4K HD movie
o Number of connected devices, sensors or “things”
o Latency – reduction to the low milliseconds…. enabling robotic automation
o Network slicing – allowing dedicated virtual networks
o Mobility – signals delivered to vehicles moving at up to 500 km/hr

7. 5G Core – Nokia’s Architecture

8. 5G development….
where we are, how we got here
and where are we going

9. 5G… where are we, how did we get there and where are we going
• ITU – International Telecommunications Union. An agency of the UN whose role is to coordinate telecoms operations and services globally
• 3GPP – Is an international standards organisation which develops protocols for mobile telephony. A consortium with regional organisation
partners (USA, China, Japan, Europe, India, South Korea) and market representation partners.

10. Screens everywhere:
• Smart home
• HD content
Virtual Reality (VR) experiences:
• Virtual seats at major events
• Virtual game worlds
Smart City development remains
predominantly 4G focused
Over 40% of global population have 5G
coverage
5G is now ubiquitous
2019 2025 2030
Immersion at home & ‘on the move’
• Mixed reality
• Augmented reality
Connected GPs & patients:
• Intelligent home
• Connected ambulance
Monitoring & medication e-care:
• Smart pills
• Patient wearables
Remote/robotic operations:
• Haptics
• Robotic tele-medicine in the home

11. 5G Internationally

12. 5G Growth – UK and Global
Forecast % of mobile
subscriptions that will be 5G by
2024
North-East Asia Western Europe North America
Source – Ericsson Mobility Report Special Edition
WEC Jan 2019 43% 29% 55%
UK Gov’t “The UK was 47th globally in 4G implementation, we intend to be leaders in 5G”

13. ENCQOR – a 5G Innovation Platform
• ENCQOR Project
• 400M $CDN program involving
commitments from Ontario, Quebec and
Federal governments, along with CGI,
Ericsson, Thales, Ciena and IBM Canada for
a pre-commercial 5G network
• Engaging Ontario and Quebec small
businesses and academia to provide 5G-
related services and solutions
• Five 1km2 5G urban testbeds, aiming for
1,000 innovation application developments
by 2022 - iPaaS
• Innovative IP solutions will be brought to
CGI’s clients through collaboration with
Canadian high-tech businesses

15. The Impact of 5G on other emerging technologies
i.e. Immersive (AR/VR/MR) and AI

16. VR & AR – tech concepts and the impact of connectivity

17. Immersive in Tourism
5G Smart Tourism – Bristol and Bath Testbed
“Working with our project partners in the 5G Smart Tourism project, we
successfully completed the first public trial of our AR application at the
Roman Baths, Bath, on the evenings of 10th and 17th December 2018. Over
100 visitors experienced reconstructions of the Baths at key moments in
history, on a mobile AR app. High-quality 360 video was streamed over the
project’s network, that included the first UK deployment of a 60GHz mesh
network.”
“This testbed will focus on delivering enhanced visual experiences for
tourists using Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
technology in major attractions in Bath and Bristol, including the Roman
Baths and Millennium Square.”
