Transforming Greece: The 5G and Fiber Enablers – The Future is Now!

Ever since mobile telephony came into play, every decade it is shaped by a new generation. In the 80s we had 1G, in the 90s 2G, in the first decade of the 21st century 3G, in that of the 10s 4G popped up, and now it is time for 5G. With the 5th generation seen as a true “revolution”, as changes and new features that 5G brings, create a new landscape and provide opportunities for launching solutions and applications, which -at this moment- we possible have not even thought of, even though our country has shown to be particularly sensitive in 5G development.

Greece prepares to enter the 5G era. The bidding contest for frequencies to be used in 5th generation networks will be complete by the end of 2020, and in early 2021 Greek providers are expected to commercially launch 5G networks.

The coming of 5G, along with challenges, opportunities, as well as issues it brings, will be the main discussion subject at InfoCom World 2020, the largest Conference about the telecoms industry in Greece, organized by Smart Press. On a different, physical format, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s ICW aims to set up a platform for discussing and exchanging views on 5th generation mobile networks, and how their potential can be utilized so Greece can take its next steps in the digital era.

ICW 2020 includes, among other subjects, challenges about developing 5G infrastructure, setting up an ecosystem of applications and solutions that utilize 5G, as well as the strategy this country needs to follow, in order to be among the states with a larger role in the new era, taking advantage of opportunities that both 5G and the 4th Industrial Revolution, offer. It’s a fact that as much as 4G affected our perception of telecoms, 5G will affect all aspects of our daily lives (work, learning, news, entertainment, productivity), and by that standard, all who use digital technology. The future is already here.

More, here.
