One of the keynote speakers at the Impact Poster Event will be Dr Mike Short - Dr Short has worked in Engineering and Telecommunications for over 38 years and is Vice President of Telefonica Europe. His focus is on European Public policy that relates to innovation, whether research, the responsible use of mobiles or new business development. He is a Fellow of IET/BCS/RGS/ Royal Academy and a Member of the Royal Television Society, and was honoured with a CBE for services to the Mobile industry in June 2012.
In his presentation, Dr Short will summarise some of the industry and research trends associated with Mobile and the Internet. The Digital economy is ever more dependent on these great innovations of the 21st century, but they are now moving well beyond simple voice and text. What are the real research challenges as we move towards an Internet of things? And indeed how can we harness data for growing data and video requirements? Is "5G" the solution?
