Two international keynotes will also feature, via video link from the USA. The final program will be released at the end of February.

Presentation topics confirmed so far include: 5G testing; IoT asset tracking in the beer industry: Securing NZ industrial environments; Spectrum management update; Mobile-first impact on first responders; The future of connectivity; Cybersecurity and the comms industry; Edge computing and narrowband for remote sensing; Utility network migration to IP/MPLS; Microwave and mmWave wireless backhaul.

The program will also feature two ARC/WRC Workshops presented by the Radio Spectrum Management team of Len Starling and Fadia Mudafar.
