Mobile World Congress includes an industry-leading conference with C-level speakers from around the world; an exhibition showcasing innovative mobile technologies, products and services; a government and ministerial programme; partner events and programmes; free seminars and many other activities. With more than 5 billion subscribers, mobile now connects over two-thirds of the world’s population. It is fuelling innovation, revolutionising industries and spurring exciting new opportunities, across developed and developing markets. Underscoring our industry’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, mobile is providing lifelines to hope, reducing inequalities, preserving our world’s resources and changing lives. Throughout the conference, across the exhibition, and in the many partner programmes, events and meetings held over four days, Mobile World Congress 2018 clearly demonstrated how mobile is creating a better future – today. 5 rESulTS RESULTS Mor e than 107,000 attendees Mor e than from 205 countries/territories 11,600 Truly international event for companies conference attendees looking f or a global busine ss outreach World-class thought leaders delivering visionary keynotes and panel discussions exhibitors 2,400 & spon sors Bringing t ogether the full mobile and technology ecosystem in one place 3,500 int ernational media and Industry analysts 7,700 CEOs Providing international The place to meet the most coverage to all regions senior level decision makers across the globe Mor e than 20,700 Over 1M attendees at 4YFN Bringing s tart-ups and meetings investors together to The event where inspir e, develop, and launch busin ess is done new innovations 7 ATTENdEES ATTENDEES Global Influence from Key Decision Makers Mobile World Congress continues to offer thought-provoking content and foster world-class networking opportunities for senior-level attendees.

    Islander February 2011 Technology Update The Androids are coming! Report from the Mobile World Congress - formerly known as 3GSM This last week we attended the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, where the next generation of cellphones are showcased. In today‟s world where Apple has created and sharply led the smartphone race off the start line, leaving the once great (just two years ago) Nokia flailing in their wake, desperately trying to trip them up, like a bad loser, by issuing law suits. At the same time another competitor has quietly got on with what Nokia should have been doing by putting their energy into developing an alternative “complete smartphone software Editorial Technical solution” which offers better features than the iPhone. The new kid on the smart phone block is Google. Consultants Accenture referred last week at the MWC to their operating system software, Android, as a new phenomenon. At the show last week nearly every conversation ended up with one subject: Google and its Android Mobile Phone operating system. Nokia did do their best to overshadow the show debate for the week by announcing on the eve of MWC their decision to opt for Microsoft‟s Windows Phone 7 (WP7) platform as its primary smartphone operating system, rather than Android. Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia, told reporters at the press conference that the decision was prompted by a desire to avoid a “duopoly” in the mobile industry between Google/Nokia and Apple and they wanted to create a third challenger. The two firms are positioning the alliance as the third major smartphone ecosystem alongside Apple‟s iOS and the Android community.

  • 5G's Future Is Hybrid – the Non-Terrestrial Opportunity
    WHITEPAPER 5G’s future is hybrid – the non-terrestrial opportunity The technology and antenna innovations that are enabling hybrid terrestrial/non-terrestrial 5G networks Published by In partnership with Executive summary 5G is widely touted as a game­changer in mobile broadband services in terms of data speeds, low latencies and massive connectivity features. And it is. But there’s far more to the disruptive power of 5G than fast speeds – it’s also about the resulting network architecture that brings new levels of flexibility and service innovations the mobile industry has never seen before. In fact, the architecture itself will be like nothing seen before in the mobile sector because it will be the first architecture to combine terrestrial and non­ terrestrial networks (NTNs) – including high­altitude platforms (HAPs) such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and low earth orbit (LEO) satellites constellations – into a hybrid network providing true ubiquitous mobile broadband to every corner of the globe. Hybrid terrestrial/NTN 5G networks unlock new revenue and service opportunities for operators, not least the rural consumer market that operators have found too expensive to serve. Other possibilities range from rural business applications such as agriculture, forestry and mining to automotive apps, industrial IoT services, logistics and asset tracking and remote healthcare, to name a few. However, just as 5G needs to evolve from its current incarnation to the full promise of gigabit speeds and millisecond latencies, NTNs have their own evolutionary path to pursue before full integration can be achieved. Challenges abound, from link budgets and terminal costs to mitigating RF interference and high Doppler shifts.

  • Highlights from the World Mobile Congress, Barcelona, Spain
    Highlights from the World Mobile Congress, Barcelona, Spain Barcelona – 02 March 2017 - The World Mobile Congress is currently underway in Barcelona. The World Mobile Congress is the world’s largest gathering for the mobile industry, organized by the GSMA and held in the mobile world capital, Barcelona from the 27th Feb-2nd March 2017. The Congress is themed “The Next Element” which is in anticipation on what is to come, the next technologies, next societies and how the next technologies like 4.5G and 5G is set to improve our lives. Attending the Congress, Tim Ekandjo, from MTC gives an overview of the 2017 Congress. The mobile industry continues to be characterized by high levels of growth and opportunity, and as the industry becomes more dynamic, the opportunities within it increase in equal amount, as do the challenges. In 2017, the Mobile World Congress conference programme will provide an essential, in-depth coverage of the contemporary and future mobile industry, highlighting specific areas of growth and opportunity. Kicking things off on Monday was Sony, which has announced a trio of new smartphones. Easily the standout, however, is the seriously impressive Sony Eperia XZ Premium. What's so impressive, you ask? Well, it has a 4K screen that supports HDR as well. It won't work in 4K all the time, but when you download 4K HDR content from the likes of Amazon Prime Video, you'll get the full resolution on offer, which strikes us as rather natty. Korean electronics giant Samsung might announce a new tablet and showcase its next flagship smartphone, the S8, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Sunday.
