Not only is 5G evolutionary (providing higher bandwidth and lower latency than current-generation technology), more importantly, 5G is revolutionary—because it is expected to enable fundamentally new applications with much more stringent requirements in latency and bandwidth. 5G should help solve the last-mile problem and provide broadband access to the next billion users globally at much lower cost because of its use of new spectrum and its improvements in spectral efficiency. Today, several standards organizations and forums, namely IEEE, 3GPP, and ITU, are working on defining the architecture and standardizing various aspects of 5G technologies. However, little has been studied to explore how 5G technologies can be useful to tactical and first responder networks. It is important to investigate how tactical and first responder communities can take advantage of 5G technologies to support massive bandwidth, massive sensing, and massive control type applications. IEEE is hosting the workshop in collaboration with the JHU Applied Physics Lab. The workshop's focus is to discuss the applicability of 5G technologies for tactical and first responder networks and related opportunities and challenges. The workshop will provide a platform to bring together 5G experts from industry, academia, and the standards, regulator, and defense communities to discuss various 5G-specific use cases and requirements. The one-day event has invited speakers from DARPA, DHS, FCC, NIST, NSF, Columbia University, NYU, Intel, National Instruments, Nokia, AT&T, CERDEC, IEEE, and 3GPP. This workshop will be a catalyst to develop relevant use cases, drive standards, and investigate deployment suitable for tactical and first responder networks.

SEMINAR OUTLINE: • Fundamentals of dry type transformers • Using transformers for current limitation • Live demonstration of Power Quality solution • Linear vs. non-linear loads • Harmonics • VFD operation • Single phase harmonic solutions • Three phase harmonic solutions • VFD load side filtering • Emerging markets and applications Hammond Power Solutions c/o the IEEE is proud to offer the informative presentation and live demonstration of power quality solutions for variable frequency drives (VFDs). VFDs provide fine motor control and energy savings but they also produce harmonic content on the system. High harmonic content can lead to issues such as: equipment overheating, communication issues, nuisance OCPD trips and possible utility fines. We will present the various transformer filtering technologies and demonstrate how they work. In addition, participants will learn more about dry type transformer ratings, such as K factor, temperature degree rise, etc. for the proper development of engineer’s specifications, as well as transformer applications in commercial/industrial/datacenter projects. Speaker(s): xxx Agenda: PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN TIME FOR THIS PARTICULAR SEMINAR. WE WILL BEGIN AT 8AM AND WRAP UP BY NOON. The seminar fee includes lunch, refreshments and handouts. Non-members joining IEEE within 30 days of the seminar will be rebated 50% of the IEEE registration charge. Four hours of instruction will be provided. If desired, IEEE Continuing Education Units (0.4 CEUs) will be offered for this course - a small fee of $55 will be required for processing.
