The Toronto Section of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) is hosting a webcast on June 9, 2020 from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm (eastern times) to discuss the role that the next generation cellular technology will offer the television and movie production and distribution industries. Due to COVID-19 social gathering restrictions this meeting will be virtual.
All indicators suggest 5G is becoming an important technology as applications are expected to directly impact how businesses run. As such, the implications for accessibility (autonomous vehicles), the reach of mobile broadband (virtual and augmented reality, streaming, broadcasters) and the improvements in safety, health and security (remote surgery, traffic control) are some of the businesses that will see change.
The following industry leaders are lined up to speak:
- Michael Martin, President, MICAN Communications – 5G Overview – The 10 Things that make 5G different.
- Craig Snow, Huawei Technologies Canada, Accounts Director, Enterprise Business – Technology & Architecture – How it all works?
- Sayan Sivanathan, Bell Canada, Senior Manager – IoT Channel Partner Program – Operator’s Perspective – When will it come?
- Tony Jones, Mediakind, Principal Technologist – Applications – How will the industry use 5G?
