Canberra 5G working group meets
Australia’s 5G Working Group met in Canberra earlier this month, bringing together representatives and leaders from across government and industry to discuss 5G.
The group discussed the future work program and agreed that further exploration of the autonomous vehicle, agricultural and health sectors would provide a good platform to examine the barriers and enablers to 5G application in Australia.
In 2017 the federal government released a 5G directions paper outlining how it will support Australia to become well placed to realise the benefits of 5G. The terms of reference can be read here.
At the same time it announced that it would convene a working group to drive the deployment of 5G in Australia.
At this month’s meeting, the federal government welcomed industry members taking the lead on continuing to explore these issues with input from relevant Commonwealth officials.
Two major carriers have already signalled their intention to start rolling out 5G services from 2019.
