The former executive commissioner of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the Chairman Commonwealth ITU Group, Dr Bashir Gwandu, has called on all Fifth Generation (5G) systems engineers and standards developers to ensure full engagement with key stakeholders around the globe when developing 5G standards.
Dr Gwandu said this is important for the 5G to succeed and avoid the pitfalls of other technologies such as the Wimax and even the 3G.
He made the call in London during his analysis of the 5G development efforts as part of his presentation on “Delivering a sustainable and long-term 5G future”, at the recently concluded 2nd International Conference on 5G Hurdle 2016 organized in London by Wireless World Research Forum -a group of leading experts and researchers on 5G networks in association with Forum Europe.
A statement at the weekend said Gwandu spoke on a number of strategies that the experts need to adopt for 5G to have a sustainable future.
