[Télécom ParisTalks] 5G: towards smarter networks

^18th conference in the Télécom ParisTalks cycle co-organized by
Télécom Paris alumni and Télécom Evolution

Virtualization and cloud computing techniques, network slicing, decentralization of certain processing operations to the network edge (Multi Access Edge Computing)... In addition to increasing bandwidth and capacity, 5G is accompanied by a host of innovations designed to make networks more intelligent.

The aim of this new Télécom ParisTalks conference devoted to 5G will be to gain a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities of these developments towards more intelligent networks, as well as their impact, particularly in terms of network security:

- What opportunities are there for new services, particularly in B2B use, through network slicing, real-time applications...?

- What is the panorama of these technologies in the different phases of 5G?

- What transformations will operators need to make, particularly in terms of architecture and core networks?

- How far along are we in testing these new architectures and "demonstrators" of the expected new services?

- What are the security challenges and risks, both for core networks and for the introduction of advanced processing at the network edge? What are the levers for controlling them?

- And, ultimately, how can these risks and opportunities be integrated into the telecom strategy of both operators and companies?

To explore these questions in greater depth, Télécom Paris alumni and Télécom Evolution have called on recognized experts from the world of operators, manufacturers, IT services companies, major corporate customers and security:

• Jean-Benoît Besset (1994), Director, Technical and IT Strategy, Orange France
