Introducing progresses of China's 5G research, especially research at FuTURE FORUM on major 5G technologies, services, applications, as well as important progresses.

This presentation will describe the novel use of 4G mobile technology to provide a high user-density, real-time machine-to-machine (M2M) service in unlicensed spectrum to enable the next generation of warehouse management system for our client Ocado Technology. This service forms part of a control system that has to simultaneously handle thousands of users in real-time and provide a business-critical service using unlicensed spectrum.

It would be an understatement to say that the Internet of Things is a game-changer, both in the IT industry as well as our everyday lives. Yet the rapid advancement of this conceptual model has now left a vacuum in its wake, as security standards and practices race to keep up with technological advances. The result is very much like a "Wild West" scenario, where no authoritative direction yet exists and multiple competing methodologies each challenge to establish themselves.
But even in the current chaotic environment, extensive guidance still remains for applying Data Protection best practices, Cryptographic models, and emerging Security Frameworks. The current confusion surrounding a clear way forward doesn't suspend your need to confront the Data Security challenges presented by this new technology. Join us as we illuminate particular areas you need to consider as you implement your IoT/M2M Encryption Strategy.

The presentation will focus on the rapid market development of Low Power Wide Area Networking (LPWA) solution (long range, very low power, low data rate, and very low cost) and ultra-narrow band technology enabling the Internet Of Things (IOT) to reach un-precedent level of penetration with i) innovative use cases and new business models generating value or ii) optimizing cost or improving productivity on existing processes. Key attributes that allow the IOT to take off at an accelerated pace will be discussed in particular Ultra-long battery life of connected devices, cost-effectiveness and lowest total cost of ownership, out-of-the-box connectivity, ease of deployment, low maintenance, and ubiquitous connectivity / global reach. Some illustrative use cases will be presented based on SIGFOX successful experiences and development worldwide.

New communication protocols, such as 5G for humans being and M2M for IoT objects, are designed not only to enhance user experience, but also to enable new business-oriented activities by introducing end-to-end trust. Security is thus considered seriously as a pillar for those new standards. LTE has been characterized by a number of security issues. Each is not a critical security flaw, but rather make up "single points of failure" (SPOF), meaning that any successful attacks could jeopardize the security of the whole data transfer, now, in the past and the future, for one to all users in the network. In this talk, I'll review modern security techniques based on cryptography and other fields, which can be leveraged for 5G. Asymmetric cryptography is of course one well-known technique worth being used. Regarding security at the end-point, trustworthy identification protocols can benefit from physically unclonable functions. Additionally, some modes of operations are natively resistant to passive and active side-channel attacks, hence should be fostered. Besides, the terminal itself can be the target of some attacks, and should be enabled with cyber-physical secure technologies. Technologies based on cyber detection of threats and active monitoring are valuable building blocks. As a case study, I'll detail how and why secure boot which validates the good health of the system prior to service any request is a key element for secure operation.

Increasingly LTE cellular networks are being seen as the best way to deliver fast, reliable and inexpensive connectivity with wide areas of coverage. The cellular network community is now extremely focused on delivering the capability to connect any device anywhere at a price point which fits the application. Chip-sets from Sequans are designed and delivered with this objective in mind.

Offline retailers don’t have the same advantage as Internet retailers to understand customer behaviours and identify trends. By leveraging connected mobile devices such as smartphones, existing in-venue Wi-Fi networks, low cost Bluetooth-enabled beacons, and a handful of other technologies, location analytics enables offline retailers to bring the power of the online analytics to the physical world, embraces customer intimacy both online and offline.

It is essential that 5G meets the market needs envisioned for the future, and provides a significant step forward with respect to the 4G technology. Beyond the classical cellular requirements (decrease latency, increase throughput, capacity and coverage) we think that 5G needs to offer a consistent user experience over the coverage area. In addition, we strongly believe that 5G can provide new opportunities to vertical markets, that are recognizing the growing need and value of ‘going digital’ and being wirelessly connected. 5G will transform networks into intelligent orchestration platforms (overlooking connectivity and data exchange) which pave the road to new business models and value propositions. It is also essential for 5G to be far more energy efficient than the current mobile networks. Furthermore, we are convinced that 5G has to offer options for Ultra Low-Cost Networks and Devices, to enable worldwide Internet Access (from hundreds of kbps to a few Mbps) including areas where it is nonexistent today, in an economically sustainable way.
