This talk describes following objectives aimed at offering students authentic opportunities to develop global competencies.

• To understand how international telecommunications is integral to the development and success of what we now call "globalization,” with the consequent development of the global economy dependent on broadband telecommunications infrastructures; i.e. wired and wireless information highways.


• To know how and why all nations, are privatizing or deregulating telecommunications monopolies to position themselves for the emergence of a knowledge economy; and all international/global companies are redefining their operations to capitalize on this basic shift in the world economy.


• To better articulate and discuss the role of the Internet in world affairs at both the national, regional and local level, and appreciate the necessity of so-called information or telecommunication strategies.


• To know and appreciate the role of creativity, culture and innovation as the drivers of the 21^st

The reported work is dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practices in technology and management. Author welcomes and encourage the students, young professionals, research scholars, engineers, academicians from the Universities all around the world and the industry to present ongoing research activities, and hence the foster research relations between Universities and industry. This presentation will provide the opportunities for the attendees to exchange new ideas and application experience face to face and virtuality, to establish business or research relationships and to find global partners for future collaboration. This presentation walks the reader through the cell phone offerings, the phone manufacturing and the market shares, as well as the technology, as it emerged since 1985 to today’s technology called 5G. This technology needs to be fully understood, its impact, performance and validation.  The 5G proposed systems cover a huge frequency range and puts enormous difficulties on testing. Today’s IoT (internet of things), as an example the Apple watch, car manufacturer collision avoidance, wearable electronics, and other systems are delivered today from Wi-Fi and demand global access.  Back in 1943, around World War II, there were limited text books available while today there is a wealth of text books which cover, in depth, this technology, but technology alone does not live.  The companies can only be successful by focusing on starting to focus on market needs and also need to focus on consumer behavior.  In summary, students have to be adaptive and able to learn how to learn and change. The world does not pay for what a person knows but pays for what a person does with the knowledge.
