Today we, the student members of IEEE Sai Vidya Institute of Technology Students Branch attended the 5G summit at Nokia Bangalore's main R&D center at Manyata Business Embassy Park. The student members namely Ms. Kavya Up, Ms. Kusuma , Ms. Madhumitha V, and Mr. Sourabh Bhat enjoyed sessions on topics connected to 5G at the venue. The branch councillor, Dr. Raj Bharath also witnessed the summit. The summit began in a technical way of by lightning the VIRTUAL LAMP. The sessions were delivered by the dignatories from world renowned academic institution like IISc, research experts from various domains linked to communication like networks, security, antenna etc. The sessions were scheduled to be 30mins long however the eagerness of the audience to learn more extended it to a few more. The questions raised after each session made the discussion even more lively. The real time usage i. e use cases such as on road, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in stadium which enabled the audience to enjoy various views captured by the cameras installed at various places through the AR devices, the role of Artificial intelligence.
