BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2019 – The first 5G devices may be rolling out this year, but InterDigital (NASDAQ: IDCC) has been demonstrating working 5G platforms and prototype systems since 2013. This year, the company continues its long track record of demonstrating working systems far ahead of market rollout, with a suite of edge connectivity and computing solutions and immersive experiences that lift the curtain on future generations of content.
“This year, we’ll see the first deployments of 5G technologies that have been cooking in research and standardization for the past decade, and that we’ve made tremendous contributions to. But the first generation of 5G will be about tentative steps in devices and other services, which are essentially a next step to the evolution we’ve seen since the start of wireless. At InterDigital, our work has moved on to the major transformations that will characterize future generations of 5G and beyond, as well as the content transformations that will break the flat plane of video and move into immersive experiences,” said Henry Tirri, Chief Technology Officer.
In addition to showcasing groundbreaking demonstrations around Edge Computing, 5G Testbeds, 5G Standards and Beyond and Immersive Video and Video Standards, the InterDigital booth (Hall 7, Booth 7C61) will host a daily CREATORS AT MWC19 panel series, featuring some of the industry’s brightest thought leaders and technologists. Representatives from China Mobile, the European Broadcasting Union, Ericsson, FLAME, Open Edge Computing, Network2030, Nokia, Samsung, US PAWR, Technicolor, Telenor, 5G Vinni, 5G Smart Tourism, 5TONIC and others will participate and debate the evolving technological trends.
