Welcome to a seminar with Dr. Fisseha Mekuria, Chief Research Scientist at CSIR Meraka ICT Institute, South Africa.<\/p>\n

The seminar is held 19 March 15:15, in NIA0607 in Niagara.<\/p>\n

5GPP mobile standard describes the 5th\u00a0generation\u00a0ICT-ecosystem as the most transformative technology\u00a0standard in the history of\u00a0mankind. The 5G ICT-eco system standards are composed of three distinct pillars\u00a0that\u00a0aim to address; (a) enhanced mobile broadband enabling gigabit ICT services\u00a0such as video-on-demand, (b)\u00a0Low network latency enabling critical\u00a0infrastructure and control services for industrial applications; (c) Energy\u00a0efficiency and network coverage to enable the 50 billion sensing devices,\u00a0machine-2-machine (M2M)\u00a0communications and Internet of Things devices and\u00a0services. The three pillars of the 5G ICT eco-system will\u00a0have a more\u00a0significant impact in the high economic urban areas throughout the world. 5G is\u00a0also the standard\u00a0that will closely work with AI, Machine learning,\u00a0Cybersecurity, Block chain technologies to enable the 4th\u00a0Industrial\u00a0revolution. The talk will highlight some aspects of the challenges and\u00a0opportunities that is opened by\u00a0these emerging technologies in addressing\u00a0multi-disciplinary research and human-technology interaction in\u00a0developing\u00a0innovative solutions for the health, transport and education sectors in Agenda\u00a02030 and the UN\u00a0SDGs.<\/p>\n
