Deployment of 5G & Beyond: The Energy Challenge
By addressing multiple aspects of communication performance, like scalability, QoS and tiered response time, the architecture of 5G networks enables new applications, which could not be available with previous generation technologies. Thus, as the deployment of 5G is taking place, the expectations are high, but the situation on the ground is quite different: the energy demands that the new technology brings cause significant limitations in providing the performance that is required to support all the new features (bandwidth, response time and ubiquitous intelligence). Energy infrastructure limitations are at risk to severely curtail the achievable performance, thus affecting ROI and the business case for the proposed applications. Eliminating the “5G Energy Gap” requires a comprehensive focus on energy efficiency at the system level to address the bottlenecks and maximize the viability of the technology across the different use cases. Such effort may not only deliver on the promises, but also lead to a more sustainable and equitable distribution of the services.

Biography:
Francesco Carobolante is a Sr. Member of the IEEE, Member of the Steering and Technical Committees for several IEEE PELS and PSMA initiatives (including PwrSoC, PwrPack and EnerHarv), Co-chair of the IEEE INGR Energy Efficiency Working Group, Member of IEEE HIR, and is Principal at IoTissimo, where he helps global organizations and young companies develop technology and business strategies to compete in today's fast-changing high-tech world.
His 10-years’ experience as Vice President Engineering at Qualcomm, combined with many years in senior leadership roles for major technology firms and start-ups, enabled him to develop leading edge products for Mobile, Computing, Audio and Communication. He created many industry "firsts," among which the Magnetic Resonance Wireless Power Transfer that received Best of Innovation Award Honoree at 2015 Consumer Electronic Show.
He authored over 90 US patents, and has been invited keynote speaker and expert panelist at several premier international conferences. He received Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) degrees from both University of Padova, Italy and University of California, Los Angeles.
