Webinar Materials - Who is Gaming Who? Why 5G Self-Declarations Have Exploded & What To Do About It

Speakers:

Craig Thompson — General Manager & COO, Unified Consulting

Matthias Schneider — Chief Licensing Officer, AUDI AG

The 5G SEP self-declared landscape has exploded over the past 2 years. The number of self-declared 5G SEP families has grown 275% since 5G Release 15 was frozen mid-2019. Meanwhile, the number of technical contributions to the 5G standard has grown only 40% during the same time frame. Craig Thompson, Unified Consulting's General Manager, and Matthias Schneider, Audi's Chief Licensing Officer, interpret the latest 5G SEP self-declaration data and explore the relationship between 5G standard technical contributions and 5G SEP self-declarations.

Thank you to Craig and Matthias for a great discussion! Lots of questions during this event!!
