Valencia is a nice and modern city on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, that combines history, tradition and modernity in an unusual way. Early June is the perfect time to host an event in Valencia because of its warm temperatures and sunny days.

2018 will be the year of the first normative specifications of the fifth generation of wireless systems 5G. IEEE BMSB 2018 will be co-located with a one-day tutorial on emerging 5G broadcast technologies and applications by the 5G-PPP project 5G-Xcast. IEEE BMSB 2018 will also count with a number of workshops on 5G organized by several 5G-PPP projects.
