5G and IoT: What Will It Take for Them to Get Along?

Thomas Keller is the Director of Platforms and Core Technology at u-blox. He learned early in his career that technology development does not always progress in a perfectly straight line. During his PhD studies, he worked on Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) as a candidate technology for 3G cellular network deployment. OFDM lost that initial tech battle to Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) but later returned in LTE cellular systems. In this fascinating conversation, Keller discusses the challenges facing the industry today as low-power, low-bandwidth, low-cost IoT devices attempt to connect to a 5G network focused on high-power, high-bandwidth, low-latency applications. Interestingly, much of our current 5G networks are still relying upon an LTE backend. What happens when LTE goes away? In this Moore's Lobby podcast with our host, Daniel Bogdanoff, Keller offers his thoughts on what should come next and guidance for developers who need to navigate the phase-out of LTE worldwide. This interesting topic deserves thoughtful consideration and impacts system designers and companies across a wide range of industries.
