Global 5G leaders have come together to create a first-of-its-kind
forum to accelerate the delivery of 5G and mobile-edge
computing-enabled solutions around the world. The 5G Future Forum
will collaborate to develop interoperable 5G specifications across
key geographic regions, including the Americas, Asia-Pacific and
Europe. The Forum’s founding members are América Móvil, KT, Rogers,
Telstra, Verizon and Vodafone.
5G and mobile-edge computing deliver lowest latency networks to
mobile and connected devices while improving data throughput,
reliability, power efficiency and security. This gives
organizations worldwide the ability to deliver a wide range of
transformative business and consumer use cases, like machine
learning at the edge, autonomous industrial equipment, smart cars
and cities, Internet of Things (IoT), augmented and virtual
reality, and more.
The 5G Future Forum will focus on the creation of uniform
interoperability specifications to improve speed to market for
developers and multinational enterprises working on 5G-enabled
solutions. In addition, Forum participants will develop public and
private marketplaces to enhance developer and customer access to
5G, and will share global best practices in technology
deployment.
“5G is a key enabler of the next global industrial revolution,
where technology will transform how we live and work. It’s critical
that technology partners around the world unite to create the most
seamless global experience for our customers,” said Hans Vestberg,
Chairman and CEO of Verizon. “We are proud to join with our fellow
5G leaders to unlock the full potential of applications and
solutions that will transform with 5G’s fast speeds, high
reliability, improved security and single-digit latency.”
Daniel Hajj, CEO of América Móvil, said: “5G is a powerful
unprecedented technology. Through this forum, we will create a
common platform to enable a global ecosystem of applications to
exploit 5G at its full potential, contributing to the
transformation of our societies and economies and reaffirming
customer satisfaction.”
“This partnership will deliver the most competitive and
continuous services based on 5G infrastructure to our customers,
and provide developers with edge platform to deploy solutions
around the world,” said Dr. Hongbeom Jeon, CTO of KT Corp.
“We are proud to work closely with other global leaders in
driving the solutions and technology that will bring our customers
the very best that 5G has to offer,” said Joe Natale, President and
CEO, Rogers Communications. “These critical investments will form
the foundation of 5G and unleash the future of Canada’s digital
economy for consumers and businesses across our vast country.”
Telstra’s Group Executive for Networks and IT, Nikos Katinakis,
welcomed the initiative, which recognizes Telstra’s 5G leadership
on the global stage. “Telecommunications companies are in the
driver’s seat when it comes to creating opportunities for their
customers to take advantage of the world of possibilities enabled
by 5G. We are proud to stand alongside these global 5G leaders,
combining our experience and capabilities, as well as 5G
leadership, to develop initiatives to bring mobile-edge computing
to life.”
“This forum of global leaders in 5G marks an important step in
ensuring edge computing works seamlessly for our customers,” said
Vinod Kumar, CEO of Vodafone Business. “These new specifications
will allow us to offer services that work consistently across the
globe and support devices moving between countries. 5G opens up a
wealth of opportunities for new solutions and business models and
we’re excited to play a role in bringing them to life.”
