Abstract

Towards 5G Development in Taiwan

5G, unlike its predecessor, is not only an access technology that operate at higher spectrum either in sub 6GHz or mmWave bands but also an end-to-end system that provides service to different vertical applications. It is a system that realizes integration of virtualization and software defined network, carries out true convergence of IT and CT. In this talk, we will provide an overview of 5G system development for enterprise network in Taiwan and describe sample use cases as examples.
