You are cordially invited to a talk "IPv6 over 5G" by Professor Sureswaran Ramadass.

5G is the new fifth-generation cellular mobile communications technology. Generally, most earlier generations have technically been defined by their data transmission speeds. With 5G, this is extended to many other aspects as well. 5G especially brings three new aspects to the table:

• greater speed (to move more data).
• lower latency (to be more responsive).
• and the ability to connect a lot more devices simultaneously (for sensors and smart devices).

IPv6 support has been part of the 3GPP standards since the first release of the specifications. It extends to all radio access and packet-based system variants of the 3GPP architecture family, including 5G. With the ever-growing business and commercial incentives, wider adoption of IPv6, especially over technologies like LTE and 5G is taking place.

This talk will cover the technical aspects of 5G and how IPv6 is or can be adapted to work with these new 5G technologies. This includes the benefits of having a 5G IPv6 only network, how 5G base station will handle IPv6 and how IPv6 communications will take place with IPv4 servers outside of the ISPs environment.
