Towards Setting Environmental Requirements for 5G

ETSI and ITU are pleased to announce the joint workshop "Towards Setting Environmental Requirements for 5G", taking place on 23 November 2017, in ETSI, Sophia Antipolis, France. The one-day workshop will provide a platform for discussion among all relevant parties including policy makers, standardization bodies, vendors, operators and researchers on environmental matters related to 5G.

Furthermore, this event aims to foster the collaboration between ETSI TC EE (Environmental Engineering) and ITU-T SG5 (Environment, climate change and circular economy) on the topic. The workshop will provide the audience with an up-to-date analysis of environmental requirements related to 5G and will identify possible future activities in this field.

Participation to this event is open to all and free of charge upon mandatory registration.

Overview

The scope of this event is to present and discuss the work carried out by ITU-T SG5 and ETSI TC EE on environmental requirements for 5G and to provide a platform for further discussion and possible identification of new work items. The following are the main topics which are expected to be covered:

  • analysis and assessment of energy efficiency,
  • resource efficiency to achieve the Circular Economy,
  • powering techniques,
  • protection against environmental phenomena (e. g. lightning) and electromagnetic compatibility,
  • human exposure to electromagnetic fields.

The workshop will present existing work carried out in this area and will discuss new standardization activities.

An overview of the topics listed above will be presented as starting point for discussion in order to set the necessary environmental requirements applicable to 5G. The event will provide a platform for interested parties to share their views and identify future activities.

This workshop will support ongoing activities in ETSI TC EE and ITU-T SG5 on environmental requirements for 5G and will aim to increase the cooperation with other standardization bodies.

Target audience

The event may be of particular interest to industry, policy makers, operators and researchers active in the field of 5G.

Why one should attend?

To get latest information on the environmental requirements that might be set for 5G and provide suggestions for the development of standards in this field.
