The field is advancing quickly across Augmented, Virtual and Collaborative Realities, and we see real applications across various sectors like I4, maritime, education, and defence to name a few. At the same time, we observe the emergence of the Metaverse as the base platform where all the future realities will be developed. Additionally, there are projects that are integrating digital twins with the Metaverse and XR technologies to create amazing new immersive experiences. All these require a very powerful network and significant capabilities at the edge. And here comes 5G and 6G on the horizon.

Many of the world’s ports are active players in the field of innovation ecosystem. The port can offer its infrastructure, specialists and knowledge, encouraging tests of new technologies, helping scientists to develop and grow. The next step now – to create a specialized pilot area in the port’s industrial zone to provide possibility for testing newly created digital solutions. This is how we can succeed together – the port will benefit from the projects of that kind by using more efficient and modern technological solutions, while equipment manufacturers, engineers and high value-added service providers – test, adapt and improve their ideas, products and services in a real-life environment.

In order for the vertical sectors to enable the potential of 5G, the most important element is 5G devices. These need to have the right specifications and price point. In this fascinating panel discussion, we will discuss the problem head-on and find the available solutions with three companies who have product available today.

The demonstration was organized by LMT, one of the members of the iMUGS consortium, with the support of the Latvian National Armed Forces and the project coordinator Milrem Robotics.

IoT world is pragmatic to the bone – it uses connectivity which is efficient and not “fancy”. This is the world where 2G still dominates…and 4G is just beginning to take a strong position. But how long this “status quo” will last and how 5G technology can join the IoT “club” today?

Mobile networks are an ever increasing platform to build business systems on top of. The 5G platform brings higher than ever bandwidths together with low latencies, opening up new opportunities for data intensive services. In order to provide those services at their best, other recent paradigms such as edge computing also need to be integrated. The winners of this new race will be those who can manage both the services and the data in a secure manner, balancing commercial advantage gained from the data insights against the cost of necessary security, and without incurring regulatory disapproval or becoming the latest data breach public relations disaster.

Private networks needs spectrum but this is not available in most of European countries. European regulators have taken different routes to provide spectrum to enterprises but we don’t see a joint initiative and this creates issues for adoption. This talk is by a new association EUWENA (European Users of Wireless Enterprise Networks Association) which wants to unite the voices of enterprises to get more spectrum for private networks.
