MIT Next Generation Communications Forum
Networks are the foundation of our digital society and economy, increasingly connecting people, devices, and systems across every sector, from healthcare and education to manufacturing and global supply chains. They will play a critical role in our AI-enabled future, powering data centers, smartphones, augmented reality experiences, connected vehicles, drones, sensors, and delivering the user experiences that define modern life.
This forum will explore the key technologies shaping our connected future, focusing on the foundational elements of next-generation networks and the innovations driving their evolution. Topics will include integrated photonics, advanced microelectronics, AI for networks and networks for AI, software-defined networking, and satellite communications.
Powering the next-generation economy and enabling the distributed intelligence needed to address global challenges will require networks with ever-greater performance, robustness, scalability, convergence, flexibility, and intelligence.
