Understan ding that the industry and research communities thrive best in a neutral e nvironment not bound by geography\, proprietary technologies\, or testing scope\, IEEE created the 5G/6G Innovation Testbed to foster collaborative experimentation and advancement among stakeholders in the 5G and 6G ecosys tem. These stakeholders\, including telecommunications operators\, equipme nt vendors\, and application developers\, rely on each other to deliver ex ceptional products and services across an ever-evolving network\, and that interdependence requires significant testing for conformity and interoper ability.\n\nThe Innovation Testbed will also serve the academic community in teaching and research\, by using real network elements in their testing and analysis. This makes university-obtained data more valuable and usabl e by industry and will help train a new generation of graduates who are mo re prepared for real-world applications thanks to hands-on experience gain ed in the Innovation Testbed.\n\nEEE further envisions the platform to ser ve as a foundational place of origin for the Network of the Future\, drive n by a diverse array of leaders in industry and the research community who work together on innovations\, standards\, and applications across sector s including manufacturing 2.0\, healthcare\, agriculture\, autonomous vehi cles\, gaming\, connected products\, smart cities\, virtual reality\, and more.\n\nIEEE’s position as a neutral\, global organization\, and our us e of open-source components to power the Innovation Testbed\, enable our p latform to become a hub and federated testbed model. This allows multiple companies to test the compatibility of components located on their premise s by using our platform as a mediator to interface their platforms without breaching security or company firewalls.\n\nJoin the webinar to learn how you can benefit from the IEEE 5G/6G Innovation Testbed\n\nCo-sponsored by : IEEE Future Networks\n\nSpeaker(s): Brad Kloza\, Naresh Babu\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/414379 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/414379 ORGANIZER:c.polk@comsoc.org SEQUENCE:24 SUMMARY:5G/6G Innovation Testbed URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/414379 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0p t\;">Special Presentation by<strong> Brad Kloza &amp\; Naresh Babu of IEEE 5G/6G Innovation Testbed</strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin -top: 12.0pt\;">Hosted by the Future Networks<strong> Artificial Intellige nce &amp\; Machine Learning (AIML) Working Group</strong></p>\n<p class="M soNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt\;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14. 0pt\; font-family: Copperplate\; mso-fareast-font-family: PMingLiU\; mso-f areast-theme-font: minor-fareast\; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\; mso-bidi- theme-font: minor-bidi\; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\; mso-fareast-language: ZH-TW\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\;">Date/Time</span><span style="font-size : 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Calibri'\,sans-serif\; mso-ascii-theme-font: mino r-latin\; mso-fareast-font-family: PMingLiU\; mso-fareast-theme-font: mino r-fareast\; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-bidi-font-family: Aria l\; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi\; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\; mso-farea st-language: ZH-TW\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\;">: Thursday\, April 4<sup> th</sup>\, 2024 @ 6pm EDT / 3pm PDT</span></strong></p>\n<p><img src="http s://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/a3df40d6-d876-4a4d-b001 -5a68a14221cd" width="963" height="252"></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style=" margin-top: 12.0pt\;"><strong><u><span style="font-size: 16.0pt\; font-fam ily: Copperplate\;">Topic</span></u></strong><strong><span style="font-siz e: 16.0pt\; font-family: Copperplate\;">:</span></strong></p>\n<p class="M soNormal"><span style="background-color: rgb(255\, 255\, 255)\; color: rgb (0\, 0\, 0)\;"><strong><span style="font-size: 16pt\; background: rgb(255\ , 255\, 255)\;">5G/6G Innovation Testbed</span></strong></span></p>\n<p cl ass="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt\;"><strong><u><span style="font- size: 16.0pt\; font-family: Copperplate\;">Abstract</span></u></strong><st rong><span style="font-size: 16.0pt\; font-family: Copperplate\;">:</span> </strong></p>\n<p>IEEE recognized a need to fill in the space of collabora tive innovation for 5G and 6G networks and to facilitate the transition of ideas into real technologies that could help better human connectivity.
