6th IEEE 5G Workshop on First Responder and Tactical Networks

IEEE Future Networks is hosting the 6th 5G workshop (Full Day) in this series on Wednesday, December 13 at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab in Laurel, MD, USA. It is the result of partnership and collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T), the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab (JHU/APL), and the Office of Under Secretary of Defense for research and Engineering (OUSD R&E) – Future G and 5G. This workshop will explore the applicability of 5G technologies for tactical and first responder networks, offer solutions, share use cases, and investigate research opportunities and challenges. The event will also provide an opportunity for 5G experts from industry and academia, as well as the standards, regulatory, homeland security, public safety and defense communities, to collaborate. IEEE Region 1 and Region 2 are co-sponsors for this conference.
