Security concerns everyone
On 17鈥19 June, the international ITS conference will be held in Otaniemi. The conference will focus on topics that have recently been under international discussion, such as information security and other topical information technology issues related to the development and opportunities of 5G.
鈥楾here has been a lot of talk about information security, and international discussion on who is spying on whom. At the conference, this subject will also be discussed in several speeches from the perspective of the economy and legislation鈥, states Aalto University Professor Heikki H盲mm盲inen.
5G will be a part of the future, and it will continue to develop rapidly. 5G will not revolutionise the entire Internet, but it will enable future technology.
鈥5G is not only the next step in the development of mobile technology; it is a significant factor in the ecosystem of communication technology as a whole鈥, Professor H盲mm盲inen points out.
