Mobile convergence 5G and Wi-Fi

Speaker: Markus Amend, VP Core & Network Services Deutsche Telekom

Mobile convergence enables the simultaneous use of mobile and Wi-Fi access to ensure highly stable and seamless connectivity in the event of an access interruption or to achieve high throughput when the accesses are aggregated. A breakthrough for the wide availability of mobile convergence is its specification as part of 5G with the ATSSS framework. Deutsche Telekom is very advanced as a pioneer in implementing and verifying the QoE benefits and technical functionality of ATSSS. The presentation will show the technical background, use cases, history and a demo illustrating the usefulness of ATSSS and the requirement for adoption by the ecosystem across device, chipset, test equipment and mobile core manufacturers.
