Antennas at the Heart of 5G/6G: Powering Industrial IoT and Automotive Connectivity

Session details:

As 5G, 5G+ and emerging 6G networks evolve, the role of antennas moves from a component choice to a strategic enabler of connectivity. For Industrial IoT and automotive applications, where reliability, efficiency, and coexistence of multiple radios are mission-critical, antenna design and integration define system performance as much as the silicon. In this keynote, Dermot O’Shea, CEO of Taoglas, will share insights from real-world deployments across connected sensors and vehicles, highlighting how multi-mode architectures and careful integration unlock resilience, bandwidth, and energy efficiency. Attendees will gain a leadership view of the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping next-generation connectivity, and why antenna innovation must be considered at the earliest stages of design to deliver on the promise of 5G and beyond.
