Wireless – Economics, Security and Radiation Health Aspects

This talk will provide insights into the economics of how wireless networks are operated, cellular service is regulated and the public safety aspects of wireless devices. A flagship benchmark for cellular is that it is more secure than wired networks. Cellular is the preferred method of access approved by all banks for financial and sensitive network transactions. Wireless also provides considerably faster (low latency) access compared to any wired network. An important feature of 5G is uRLLC (ultra reliable low latency communication) that offers latency which is orders of magnitude lower than traditional IP network. Why and where this is used will be an important aspect of this talk.

This talk will take the audience through both the technical and social aspects showing why wireless is steadily gaining acceptance replacing wired networks. The origins of security in cellular was brought about with the CAVE algorithm developed by Bell Labs during 2G. This was followed up the 3GPP standards with extensive improvement in each generation of cellular. Unlike the wired network user, the cell user’s identity must be carefully protected since it is seen by all users as a personal device. How does the network protect users, how are economics of operating a network modeled by the ITU, are discussed. Although using cellular service, the general public has concerns about cell towers and in some cases township’s opposition to install tower – pros and cons of such public debates will be discussed.
