Episode Synopsis

When the number in the corner of our smartphone screens changed from 3G to 4G, few of us even noticed. The same when LTE appeared as an alternative to 4G. However, tech futurists say that fifth-generation networks will support a plethora of internet-connected sensors, vehicles, appliances, and other devices that will perform functions not yet unimagined. And satellites will play an important role in these next generation networks. In this episode, we talk to Kieran Arnold, Director of Ubiquitous Connectivity at the Satellite Applications Catapult in the UK, and General Manager at the Westcott 5G Step-Out Centre.
