The recent launches of new technologies such as 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and low power wireless access networks (LPWANs) are fundamentally changing the IoT ecosystem dynamics. 5G alongside emerging edge computing are expected to generate a bewildering spectrum of bold innovation and commercial opportunities for entrepreneurs and diverse stakeholders across the globe.</p> Mon, 03 May 2021 13:22:04 +0000 John Nikolopoulos, Michael Pawlak, and Michael Loncke 10483 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/5g-investors-and-entrepreneurs-329083 <p><a href="https://mcgill.webex.com/mcgill/onstage/g.php?MTID=e8056d4d04e5f02459a4dc1babdae3ad6"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/043-02-21-pd_5gforinvestorsandentrepreneurs_webinar_fb.png" style="height:384p</body></html>" /></a></p> Mon, 22 Feb 2021 22:21:26 +0000 zhaozhe.wu@affiliate.mcgill.ca 10335 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/channels/event/5g-health-and-environment-329085 <div><a href="https://mcgill.webex.com/mcgill/onstage/g.php?MTID=e7fd76ba75bcad837ac6cf8614713ca74" target="_blank"><img src="/continuingstudies/files/continuingstudies/040-02-21-pd_5ghealthandtheenvironment_webinar_fb.png" style="" /></a></div> Mon, 22 Feb 2021 22:31:13 +0000 zhaozhe.wu@affiliate.mcgill.ca 10336 at /continuingstudies /continuingstudies/article/preparing-5g-brave-new-world <p>The foregoing discussion (re: Parts 1 to 3 of this blog series) has attempted to demystify the fascinatingly complex and dynamic story of the global launch of 5G and associated opportunities and challenges.
