Not only is 5G evolutionary (providing higher bandw idth and lower latency than current-generation technology)\, more importan tly\, 5G is revolutionary—because it is expected to enable fundamentally new applications with much more stringent requirements in latency and ban dwidth. 5G should help solve the last-mile problem and provide broadband a ccess to the next billion users globally at much lower cost because of its use of new spectrum and its improvements in spectral efficiency.\n\nToday \, several standards organizations and forums\, namely IEEE\, 3GPP\, and I TU\, are working on defining the architecture and standardizing various as pects of 5G technologies. However\, little has been studied to explore how 5G technologies can be useful to tactical and first responder networks. I t is important to investigate how tactical and first responder communities can take advantage of 5G technologies to support massive bandwidth\, mass ive sensing\, and massive control type applications.\n\nIEEE is hosting th e workshop in collaboration with the JHU Applied Physics Lab. The workshop 's focus is to discuss the applicability of 5G technologies for tactical a nd first responder networks and related opportunities and challenges. The workshop will provide a platform to bring together 5G experts from industr y\, academia\, and the standards\, regulator\, and defense communities to discuss various 5G-specific use cases and requirements. The one-day event has invited speakers from DARPA\, DHS\, FCC\, NIST\, NSF\, Columbia Univer sity\, NYU\, Intel\, National Instruments\, Nokia\, AT&T\, CERDEC\, IEEE\, and 3GPP. This workshop will be a catalyst to develop relevant use cases\ , drive standards\, and investigate deployment suitable for tactical and f irst responder networks.\n\nFull details and the agenda can be found at: h ttps://futurenetworks.ieee.org/conferences/2025-first-responder-and-tactic al-networks-workshop\n\nFor more information\, please contact Ashutosh Dut ta\, IEEE WFRTN Chair\, Johns Hopkins University.\n\nEmail: ashutosh.dutta @ieee.org or Ashutosh.Dutta@jhuapl.edu Tel: 908-642-8593\n\nDetails on Spo nsorship and Exhibit Opportunities can be found at:\n\nhttps://futurenetwo rks.ieee.org/images/files/IEEE-WFRTN-Sponsor-Brochure_2025_v2.pdf\n\nCo-sp onsored by: IEEE Future Networks TC\, Washington DC & Baltimore Sections\n \nRoom: Kossiakoff Conference Center\, The Johns Hopkins University Appli ed Physics Laboratory\, 11100 Johns Hopkins Road\, Laurel\, Maryland\, Uni ted States\, 20723\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/460733 LOCATION:Room: Kossiakoff Conference Center\, The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory\, 11100 Johns Hopkins Road\, Laurel\, Maryland \, United States\, 20723\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/46073 3 ORGANIZER:c.polk@comsoc.org SEQUENCE:95 SUMMARY:2025 7th IEEE 5G Workshop on First Responder and Tactical Networks URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/460733 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><img src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/v tools_ui/media/display/e60225a7-7216-43f1-9811-ad7e26974b7d" width="1022" height="575"></p>\n<p>On-site Registration/Breakfast 7:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. </p>\n<p>Workshop: 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.<br>On-site Networking Reception: 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Both on-site &amp\; virtual C omplimentary registration is available&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li><str ong>on-site - registration deadline 14 February 2025 - includes free break fast\, lunch\, &amp\; reception!</strong></li>\n<li><strong>virtual - regi stration deadline 14 February 2025</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>*** We are also doing walk-in on-site registration on the day of the event ***</ strong></p>\n<p><strong>Please visits <a href="https://futurenetworks.ieee .org/conferences/2025-first-responder-and-tactical-networks-workshop">http s://futurenetworks.ieee.org/conferences/2025-first-responder-and-tactical- networks-workshop</a> for the IEEE.tv virtual streaming link</strong></p>\ n<p>5G is not just the next evolution of 4G technology\; it&rsquo\;s a par adigm shift.
