In parallel to the workshop, OET, WTB, and IB will host equipment demonstrations illustrating some of the technologies enabling advanced wireless services in the mmW bands. The workshop and tech demonstration will be held on Thursday, March 10, 2016, from 9:00am to 5:00pm ET in the Commission Meeting Room at FCC Headquarters, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC. This workshop will explore the technologies that are enabling mobile broadband services in the mmW bands, the spectrum requirements, opportunities and applications for new and incumbent service providers, the benefits to consumers, methods for creating a shared spectrum environment with incumbents, and other issues raised in the Spectrum Frontiers NPRM. The workshop will include perspectives from equipment manufacturers, licensees, wireless service providers, satellite service providers, and various other interested parties. The workshop is open to the public and will be streamed live on the FCC’s website; see below for details.

Training rooms (TW-A402/A442) – Intel and Nokia ? FCC Technology Center – Samsung, Qualcomm, and Ericsson Below are descriptions of the demonstrations, as provided by the demonstrators: Intel is leading the convergence of computing and communications connectivity by uniting the industry around new spectrum assignments, frequencies, standards, and innovative technologies such as mmWave, multi-antenna array, steerable beamforming, novel radio interface techniques, anchor-booster architecture and more, in order to make 5G a reality. During the workshop, Intel will demonstrate its 5G Mobile Trial Platform in 60GHz, Mobile Edge mmWave Backhaul and Access for 5G Densification, Pre 5G Anchor Booster Concept with mmW, and Narrowband IOT. Nokia will demonstrate an experimental 5G system operating in 73 GHz band (E-band). This demonstration shows one GHz bandwidth single link system using null cyclic prefix (CP) single carrier modulation which communicates using steerable lens antenna with a 3 degree beamwidth serving a fully mobile user device with a peak rate of 2.3 Gbps. This system can also support a radio latency of less than 1 msec and multi-user acquisition and tracking. Samsung will demonstrate very high speed data transmission using 5G technology in the 28GHz band. Data transmission will occur in an indoor wireless 5G prototype system with one base station and one customer premises equipment prototype. The base station will transmit over an 800MHz-wide channel using a Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame structure. The 5G system will achieve a 3.7Gbps link speed using higher order Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS) and Multiple Input/Multiple Output (MIMO) communication with beam selection. Qualcomm is looking to 2020, with a unified 5G design that will deliver on connectivity needs— enabling new business opportunities, services and user experiences. Qualcomm will showcase its 5G design and a live streaming demonstration of Millimeter-Wave technology, an important component of 5G. Ericsson will showcase remotely controlling an actual Volvo Excavator located in Dallas, Texas with a connected simulator located at the FCC HQ. The end user will have a virtual reality headset with live immersive streaming video, and operation of the system via controls in the excavator simulator. With 5G, heavy machinery can be remotely controlled with real-time responsiveness where latency is a critical for safety. One advantage of this approach is that a worker with unique or specialized skills could manage multiple projects around the world in the same work day. Also, real-time remote control of heavy equipment allows for workers to operate in areas that are hostile in terms of weather or personal security. 4 Attendance. This workshop is open to the public.
