    Samsung kicked off its Silicon Valley 5G Summit, a platform for telecommunication industry participants to come together to discuss different ways to strengthen the upcoming commercialization of 5G technologies, on Thursday.

    “To power our mobile future—and lead the world in 5G service—we need to free up more spectrum and make smart choices about infrastructure. That’s why this discussion is so important,” said FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel.

    First commercial 5G applications to roll out in 2018

    Samsung expects to see the first commercial 5G applications begin to roll out to support use cases, like Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), at some point in 2018—and with trials well underway in a number of regions, that certainly seems feasible.
