Mr. Marcos Ferrari   10:00 to 10:30 – Coffee Break 10:30 to 12:30 – Panel 1: Artificial Intelligence in Mobile Networks: Automation, Efficiency, and New Operational Models This panel will focus on the practical application of AI in mobile networks, examining how operators and vendors are leveraging machine learning, generative AI, and advanced automation to transform network planning, operations, and service delivery. Main topics include:
  • AI-driven network planning, spectrum optimization, and energy management;
  • Autonomous networks (self-organizing and self-healing capabilities);
  • AI-native air interface and AI-RAN: intelligence designed into the radio, not layered on top;
  • AI deployment at the edge and in data centers to reduce latency and operational costs;
  • Regional differences in AI adoption shaped by market scale, regulatory frameworks, and data governance.
12:30 to 14:00 – Lunch 14:00 to 15:45 – Panel 2: Expanding Connectivity: Digital Inclusion in Remote Areas This panel will address the structural, economic, and technological challenges of expanding mobile connectivity in rural, remote, and underserved areas, a critical issue for countries with large territories and diverse socio-economic contexts. Main topics include:
  • The role of public policies, universal service funds, and public-private partnerships;
  • Energy sustainability (off-grid networks, renewable energy, and efficiency strategies);
  • Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and Integration with Terrestrial Networks (TN) technologies for ubiquitous connectivity.
15:45 to 16:15 – Coffee Break 16:15 to 18:00 – Panel 3: Key Enablers for 6G – Connecting Intelligence Across Networks, Devices, and Environments This panel will address the technical enablers that will define 6G as a platform for connecting intelligence across networks, devices, and the physical environment. Main topics include:
  • Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) and network-as-a-sensor: joint waveform design, use cases and privacy safeguards;
  • Edge computing and compute–communication convergence for sub-millisecond, high-reliability applications;
  • Digital twins for network operations and vertical applications (manufacturing, mobility, energy).
    Day 2 – November 13th 09:00 to 10:45 – Panel 4: Regional Experiences from 5G and 5.5G Deployments: Lessons Learned and Future This panel will bring together regional perspectives on real-world 5G and 5.5G deployments, highlighting lessons learned from commercial rollouts, network densification, and service innovation across different markets. Main topics include:
  • Deployment strategies and timelines for 5G Standalone and 5.5G (5G-Advanced);
  • Performance gains, user experience improvements, and enterprise use cases enabled by 5.5G;
  • Candidate 6G spectrum: upper mid-band (7–15 GHz), sub-THz, and the WRC-27 agenda;
10:45 to 11:15 – Coffee Break 11:15 to 13:00 – Panel 5: 6G Research Results This panel explores breakthrough 6G research results driving next-generation technology. Main topics include:
  • New architectures and softwarized networks: research outcomes, performance gains and remaining gaps;
  • RIS and intelligent surfaces: what we have achieved to make it an enabler for 6G;
  • Sub-THz communications: experimental results, channel measurements capabilities;
  • AI for mobile networks: how AI is improving the network from PHY to the Core;
  • New techniques for digital transmission: advances in new waveforms, new approaches to Channel Coding, and Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC)”
13:00 to 14:30 – Lunch 14:30 to 16:15 – Panel 6: Mobile Networks as Critical Infrastructure: Security and Resilience This panel will explore the role of mobile networks as critical national and global infrastructure, addressing key challenges related to cybersecurity and operational resilience in an increasingly virtualized and cloud-based environment (5G Standalone and 6G). Main topics include:
  • Security challenges in disaggregated and cloud-native architectures;
  • Protection of telecom data centers and virtualized network functions;
  • Supply chain security;
  • International cooperation on cross-border cyber threats: incident response and threat-intelligence sharing.
