That\u2019s why we\u2019re bringing DC5G back to the nation\u2019s capital for a second year \u2014 to break telecommunications industry sectors out of their silos, and unite leaders, policy makers, investors, and end-users to educate the world about the benefits of adding 5G capability to the wireless ecosystem. If you have questions about 5G, then DC5G is the place to find answers. <\/p>\n<p>DC5G 2018 kicks off on Monday, Nov. 12, with a keynote from Samsung Senior Vice President (SVP) of Policy John Godfrey, who will outline what the world\u2019s largest handset manufacturer believes will be the \u201ckiller app for 5G.\u201d Godfrey will explore the prevailing use cases for 5G from the initial commercial network uses to some of the more transformative industry applications. Immediately following the keynote will be a fireside chat with Chris Pearson and Small Cell Forum CEO Sue Monahan, moderated by SDx Central Editor-in-Chief Sue Marek, titled \u201cWhat Makes 5G Different than Previous Generations?\u201d The group will take an in-depth look at the various elements necessary to create a 5G world of the future, including small cells, spectrum resources, and more.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BRtC8Ju1QqutsA5cc4pz_VS_110118_Cover_DGTL-1-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BRtC8Ju1QqutsA5cc4pz_VS_110118_Cover_DGTL-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BRtC8Ju1QqutsA5cc4pz_VS_110118_Cover_DGTL-1-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BRtC8Ju1QqutsA5cc4pz_VS_110118_Cover_DGTL-1-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BRtC8Ju1QqutsA5cc4pz_VS_110118_Cover_DGTL-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the November 2018 Issue<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-0 fs-smaller text-balance\">Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<button class=\"btn btn-primary\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"offcanvas\" data-bs-target=\"#offcanvasMENU\" aria-controls=\"offcanvasExample\" aria-label=\"button\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tView More <i class=\"bi bi-arrow-right-circle\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>The opening program rolls nicely into our day-one morning session, which addresses a major industry challenge \u2014 deploying 5G infrastructure. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission\u2019s (FCC) primary mission over the next few years will be to ensure that the United States wins the race to full 5G deployment, while allowing private industry to ultimately determine how it will be done. The FCC\u2019s biggest challenge is creating a balanced regulatory environment that will keep investment capital flowing, and make it easier for industry to install and deploy infrastructure. Can the U.S. keep pace with its international competitors? Our morning panel session, \u201cWinning the Global Race to 5G,\u201d aims to answer this question. The session features an all-star speaker lineup from a variety of organizations playing widely different roles in the 5G space, including QualComm, Intelsat, the U.S. Navy, Crown Castle, and Commscope.<\/p>\n<p>DC5G 2018 will then welcome its second keynote speaker \u2014 entrepreneur, technologist, and Eisenhower Fellow Adam Zuckerman, director of ventures and innovation for Discovery. Adam has directed the implementation of emerging technologies for numerous Fortune 500 companies around the world. His DC5G presentation, \u201cThe Disruptive World of 5G-Powered Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality Applications,\u201d will explain how 5G connectivity unlocks incredible VR, AR and mixed reality capabilities for businesses, consumers, and governments. <\/p>\n<p>Next at DC5G 2018 will be a trio of smart city- and rural deployment-themed sessions, starting with a 5G smart structures panel, \u201cTransforming Unique Physical Buildings into Compatible Smart City Network Nodes\u201d featuring speakers from Google, MobileStack, and the Telecommunications Industry Association. Satellite Industry Association (SIA) President Tom Stroup then leads his session, \u201cAre there 5G Deployment Plans for Rural Communities and Mobile, Remote Industries?\u201d Stroup and fellow speakers from SES, Geeks Without Frontiers, and The Rural Broadband Association (NTCA) will answer questions about satellite, cellular backhaul, and wireless opportunities that could be created for operators serving remote and underserved clientele.<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6e4ccd7c80f;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6e4ccd7c80f = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6e4ccd7c810').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6e4ccd7c810'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Day two of DC5G 2018 begins with a roundtable discussion, \u201cWhat Can 5G Do For Smart Cities?\u201d with Crown Castle Director of Product Development Mark Reudink, NDP Analytics Managing Director Bonnie Pierce, and Jackie Crotts, the Deputy Director of Technology for the City of Richmond, Va.
