Qualcomm, Ericsson and Telefonica are preparing the first commercial millimeter wave 5G network in Spain for exhibitors. Among the advantages of this range are the quality of work in crowded places, the notable potential for connected vehicles and, in general, the so-called Industry 4.0.
The organizers are also preparing a new space called Journey to the Future. In this zone of practical experiments, visitors will be able to see and touch various developments with their hands. For example, exoskeletons, or a high-speed Hyperloop capsule, or stands for remote medical diagnostics, and so on.
Mobile World Congress also works as a platform for startups. This year, specialized events 4YFN (4 Years From Now), Diversity4Tech and the GSMA ministerial program are traditionally planned.
