Brooklyn 5G Summit was the very first get-together of the industry on 5G starting back in 2014 and has been spearheading innovation in 5G New Radio and 5G architecture. From day one, the Summit has been key in exploring the usage of new mmWave spectrum and other technologies that have formed 5G New Radio. It is the Summit where key decision makers from leading operators such as AT&T, DoCoMo, KT, T-Mobile US, Verizon and Vodafone provide guidance to the industry. In particular, the event showcases the latest progress in North America as one of the lead markets for 5G and has been influential as regards FCC rule making.  It has encouraged the 5G ecosystem, by supporting companies small and large to exhibit their latest innovations and receive a broad range of perspectives from academia and industry associations.
