ITU to study the network standardization requirements of ‘5G’

The network studies will be hosted by ITU’s Standardization Sector (ITU-T), benefiting from the strength of ITU-T standardization in wireline communications, a statement from the union’s spokesman Sanjay Acharya, said.He said these “IMT-2020” systems would enable wireless communication to match the speed and reliability achieved by fibre-optic infrastructure. “The potential application fields of IMT-2020 systems, […]

The network studies will be hosted by ITU’s Standardization Sector (ITU-T), benefiting from the strength of ITU-T standardization in wireline communications, a statement from the union’s spokesman Sanjay Acharya, said.
He said these “IMT-2020” systems would enable wireless communication to match the speed and reliability achieved by fibre-optic infrastructure.
“The potential application fields of IMT-2020 systems, in addition to voice and video, span from healthcare to industrial automation, virtual reality, automated driving, and robotic systems controlled with an imperceptible time lag. One-millisecond end-to-end latency is necessary for technical systems to replicate natural human interaction with our environment, a goal that experts say should be within reach of future networks”, he said.
