Popis akce:
We know from history that the introduction of each new generation of mobile networks has had a huge impact on global society, and not just from a technological perspective. The proliferation of the Internet and new services, the increase in people’s mobility, the change in access to privacy or the emergence of new business and working models are examples of how third and fourth generation telecommunications networks have recently changed our lives.
Fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks are networks that, for the first time in history, are primarily dedicated to IoT technologies and devices, as all people already have their mobile phones where the transmission speed is sufficient for their needs. The B2C lay public often mistakenly thinks that 5G and 6G mobile networks are all about increasing data speeds from nx100 Mbps to nx100Gbps, and appreciates the greater convenience of streaming movies, music and other multimedia. Operators see these new technologies as a new source of revenue and differentiation from competing local ISPs. Business customers expect legacy LAN and Wifi solutions to be replaced by new 5G campus networks at lower prices.
In our view, however, this is a very different world that we are heading into without realising what we are gaining and losing in it. In the new 5-6G world, autonomous vehicles are communicating and making decisions in real time without human influence, holograms supported by the Metaverse platform are replacing physical encounters, and the sky is littered with transmitters that spread milli- and microwaves we know nothing about.
From a technical perspective, terms like real-time AI control (IoT & Industry 4.0), connection density (devices/km2), latency (ms-micro/s), reliability (99.99%), user data rate (Gb/s), peak data rate (Tb/s), energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, microchip density sound attractive. Tento nový svět připomíná epizodu Star Treku, kde nám jeho autoři Qualcomm, Huawei či Samsung slibují pozitivní budoucnost v sítích 5G a 6G.
But the question remains one of practical philosophy, i.e. ethics: why do we do it? What do we hope to get out of it? What do we hope for from 5-6G networks?Do we know all the possible scenarios? And how do we live our private lives properly in this futuristic era?
If, like us, you are interested in the balanced perspectives of engineers, philosophers, sociologists, lawyers and economists, come to this year’s SEP 2022 conference to hear how different professional groups view the issue of 5-6G mobile networks.
