Technologies such as 5G, 6G, IoT and AI are having great impact on future Networks architecture, empowering  higher speed, lower end-to-end latency and spectrum efficiency. This in turn enable collecting and aggregating data for edge computing and with 6G at edge intelligence - Edge AI performing analysis and generating insightful information for critical actions in real-time or non-real-time applications.

The talk will cover:

• A clear understanding of 5G & 6G positioning, features and roadmap
• Architecture evolution pushing intelligence to the edge
• Examples empowered by 5G/6G, IoT and AI including Enhanced Mobile Services, Massive Machine-type Communications and Ultra-reliable and low latency communications.
