Susumu Yoshida, Chair of 5GMF declared
“Inviting leaders and industry experts from all over the world, it is an honor to be organized the 3rd Global 5G Event in Tokyo Japan. In this Event, 5GMF proposed a theme “Creating the Crossover Collaboration for 5G Eco-Society”. The Crossover Collaboration means a barrier-less cooperation between various industries on the 5G platform that has enhanced capabilities. 5GMF believes that this is a key to maximize the true value of 5G. We expect exciting discussion and the strengthening of relationships and collaboration to realize a 5G Eco-Society. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.”
DongKu KIM, Chair of Executive Committee, 5G Forum, stated
“The theme of the 3rd Global 5G Event, ‘Creating the Crossover Collaboration for 5G Eco-Society’ is very timely on the course of on-going development of 5G networks. 5G would be a business driven network, where much of its demands are expected to come from other industries. 5G networks shall be designed as an open architecture to embrace open innovations from various industries, including small and medium sized enterprises. We believe that Global 5G Event with WTP2017 will show not only 5G networks but also how 5G could be leveraged by other industries to create greater value.”
Chris Pearson, President of 5G Americas, stated
“5G has made great progress over the past year including the work on standards, trials, infrastructure, devices and chipsets. The 5G ecosystem is gaining significant momentum toward the realization of commercial 5G deployments due to the output of collaboration from conferences such as the 5G Global MOU Events.”
CAO Shumin, Chair of IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group, stated
“First of all, we sincerely congratulate the third Global 5G Event is successfully held in Japan. IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group is committed to promoting 5G R&D, standardization, spectrum planning, trials, and deployments in a globally open manner, and thus creating a globally unified 5G technology and industry ecosystem. By strengthening the deep integration of 5G and vertical industry applications, we will be able to make 5G a key cornerstone of social and economic development. ”
Colin Willcock, Chair of 5G-IA, stated
“The 3rd 5G Global event takes place in Tokyo this week, illustrating the success of this multilateral partnership & cooperation between Europe, Japan, China, South Korea and North America, that will shortly be extended to Brazil and other regions of the world. A highlight is the diversity of the topics covered at this event, putting an accent on new domains such as collaboration with verticals, 5G trials roadmaps and security in 5G. Moreover, this series of global events has an unique advantage in offering a benchmark of 5G developments around the world, enabling on the one hand to be informed on what is being done elsewhere by our peers, and on the other hand to encourage the convergence of solutions and roadmaps between the actors & partners, towards a globally harmonized standard. The 5G-IA, in conjunction with the associated 5G PPP projects are ready to take an active part in this way towards ubiquitous and powerful future communications systems.”
