August 15, 2019 By TechnologyConference.com

The GSMA provided further updates for the upcoming MWC19 Los Angeles, including recently confirmed high-profile keynote speakers, new programs and events, and additional exhbitors and partners. MWC19 will take place October 22-24 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Event registration is now open.

“This year’s MWC Los Angeles event is bringing together the greatest minds and companies to showcase the transformation the mobile industry is undergoing,” said John Hoffman, CEO, GSMA Ltd. “In the era of Intelligent Connectivity, 5G is powering Artificial Intelligence, IoT and data to reach new heights in never-before imagined ways. By 2025, there will be 5.8 billion unique mobile subscribers and over 25 billion IoT connections. MWC19 will examine the possibilities in this new frontier– you won’t want to miss it.”

“Technology can serve as the great equalizer of opportunity for people everywhere — a vehicle to enhance education, deepen ties of commerce and culture, and improve the quality of life for young people and families around the world,” said Mayor Eric Garcetti. “Los Angeles decided to become a smart city, lead the way in 5G adoption, and host MWC19 for a clear reason: we know the power of innovation to level the playing field for our workers and forge solutions to our most pressing social, political and economic challenges.”

DARPA Spectrum Competition Details Announced

On Wednesday, October 23, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) will host the live championship finals event of the Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2) on the Keynote Stage. Organizing this first-of-its-kind competition required developing a custom-built virtual RF testbed – one capable of simulating, in real-time, over 65,000 channel interactions among 256 wireless devices. DARPA’s answer was the massive Colosseum – the world’s most powerful RF channel emulator at a scale never before realized at 20 times more total RF bandwidth than currently available in commercial systems. The Colosseum is capable of replicating the complex RF environments required to put the competitors’ radio designs through their paces.

MWC19 Los Angeles attendees will have an opportunity to see the Colosseum up-close in the South Hall at DARPA’s booth #1046. Throughout the show, the emulator will run the final competitive matches of the competition from the exhibit floor. For more information on SC2, visit: www.SpectrumCollaborationChallenge.com/.
