Status Quo
If there is one thing that living in this accelerating world has taught us in the past, it is that speed is everything. The "speed" will soon be raised to a new level with the introduction and use of 5G!
The new 5G mobile communications standard is 20 times faster than 4G: Huge amounts of data can be exchanged in near-real-time. This is the basis for a truly connected world, an Internet of Things, where physical and virtual objects can communicate and exchange information in real-time. 5G has the potential to change our world just like the telephone, television and even the Internet have in the past.
As Jyrki Katainen, Vice-President of the European Commission, recently said: "The digital revolution is picking up speed and we must be ready to exploit the tremendous opportunities it brings!"
The Challenge
The spread of information- and communication technology has enormous potential for accelerating human progress, bridging the digital gap, developing knowledge societies and creating scientific and technological innovations in areas as diverse as medicine, energy, security or community life.
To put this in a nutshell: 5G and its advance have the power to benefit those in need and it is our belief that this should happen from day one!
