... Purdy began by describing the impact of 5G on society. 5G is differentiated from other generational transitions in wireless technology because of its transformational opportunity towards ubiquitous connectivity, which will be as significant as when electricity was brought into homes and to manufacturing floors.
From page 2...
... Because these networks will rely on high density deployments of devices, one challenge area is interference of wireless signals. 5G will utilize higher frequency spectrum bands, which have different -- and less studied -- propagation properties from the familiar lower frequency bands on which current networks operate.
From page 3...
... LeFrancois added that a significant challenge is obtaining suitable real estate in rural regions, and deployment is dependent on, and often driven by, the business needs of the area. A workshop participant asked about public perceptions of 5G, and whether there are coordinated efforts to address the argument that 5G may have a negative impact on public health.

... of directional antennas at millimeter wave frequencies. Rappaport stressed that the need for small cells, which shrink the coverage radius of future cells, is based on the fundamental "noise power versus bandwidth" trade-off, and that the wider bandwidths of future cellular transmissions require closer coverage distances for a given transmitted power level.

... Kutsche stated that INL's Wireless Security Institute has numerous capabilities and facilities that can support this research. FIGURE 2 Securing Resilient Wireless Communications Networks.

... John Smee, vice president of engineering at Qualcomm, began by describing how the world will soon view 5G technology as unifying connectivity -- like electricity, we will expect it everywhere. 5G will reach new industries, enabling the factory of the future, contributing to safer autonomous transportation, reliable access to remote health care, precision agriculture, efficient use of energy and utilities, and sustainable smart cities.

... memorandum on "Developing a Sustainable Spectrum Strategy for America's Future," which tasked OSTP with the creation of two reports.1 These reports were released in May 2019. The first report addressed emerging technologies and their impact on non-federal spectrum demand, and the second recommended research and development priorities to advance spectrum access and efficiency.2 Guyselman explained that FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has developed a strategy for promoting U.S.
