UA to Host International Conference on Super-Fast Wireless Communications
Fifth-generation, or 5G, wireless networks, which promise to be up to 100 times faster than 4G and up to 25,000 times faster than 3G, are on the horizon, and the benefits go far beyond being able to download an HD movie in seconds.

Marwan Krunz, electrical and computer engineering professor at the University of Arizona, is hosting the third workshop in a series of the National Science Foundation-funded Millimeter Wave Research Coordination Network (mmW RCN), Jan. 18-19.
High-speed 5G wireless networks will allow autonomous vehicles to communicate with one another and ease traffic congestion, make virtual reality training simulators accessible from anywhere, allow factory equipment to diagnose and repair itself, provide the bandwidth needed for the “internet of things” and even make it possible for ambulances to transmit live videos of patients to hospitals.
