5G at the Austin Forum on May 14
The Forrest Four-Cast: May 13, 2019
The wireless connectivity of tomorrow promises significant improvements over our current systems.
Learn more about these future developments at the Tuesday evening, May 14 edition of the Austin Forum. Titled “5G: The Wireless Communications Technology That Will Transform Society,” this session explores how these advancements will enable new classes of increasingly powerful devices, applications and uses — including making connected cars feasible, smart cities more integrated, and ultimately produce the fabric for achieving the vision of a comprehensive Internet of Things (IoT).
Speaking about 5G at this event are Fawzi Behmann (founder of TelNet Management Consulting), Dr. Arun Ghosh (the Director of Advanced Wireless Technology Group with AT&T Labs) and Amber Gunst (the interim CEO of the Austin Technology Council).
One lucky attendee of the Tuesday, May 14 edition of the Austin Forum will win a free badge to SXSW 2020. RSVP here to save your spot at this event. The Austin Forum occurs at Central Library (710 W. Cesar Chavez). Doors open at 5:45 pm and presentation begins at 6:15 pm.
