New study outlines how 5G can digitalize society, economy

By Emeka Aginam 

New research released yesterday by the European Commission and the 5G Infrastructure Association has outlined how 5G can transform a broad range of vertical sectors including automotive, transportation, healthcare, manufacturing as well as media and entertainment The study was released at the ongoing 2016 Mobile World Congress holding in Barcelona by the the European Commission and the 5G Infrastructure Association in their 5G Public-Private Partnership whitepaper entitled “5G Empowering Vertical Industries”. At a press conference yesterday, Mr. Günther H. Oettinger, European Commissioner, Digital Economy and Society, and executives from Ericsson, ERTICO- ITS Europe, Huawei, Nokia, Orange, SES, Telenor shared their views on the impact of 5G on the digital society and economy, as well as requirements from vertical industries, business models, architectures, and standardisation aspects of 5G. Speaking on the development, European Commissioner, Günther H. Oettinger said that making 5G a reality in Europe by 2020 will be essential for the success of key vertical sectors like automotive, health and digital manufacturing”, the white paper depicts innovative use cases from the most important vertical sectors and how the resulting requirements shape the 5G system design. 5G, according to European Commission and the 5G infrastructure Association would will transform networks into intelligent orchestration platforms and pave the way for new business models and value propositions by cementing strong relationships between vendors, operators and verticals. According to 5G PPP, 5G will also integrate seamlessly different enabling technologies (e.g. mobile, fixed, satellite and optical). Deploying 5G for vertical markets in Europe by 2020, the group added should be a key objective. Latency (below 5ms), reliability (5 nines and beyond), density (up to 100 devices/m2), and peak terminal data rates are among the most important performance targets 5G needs to achieve, along with tight constraints on territorial and population coverage. Requirements derived from use-cases for vertical markets should be considered with high priority and covered in the early phases of the 5G standardisation process. Vertical use cases should be duly considered when identifying spectrum priorities, 5G PPP explained. 5G PPP is a collaborative research program that is organized as part of the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 program -The European Union Program for Research and Innovation. It is aimed at fostering industry-driven research, which is controlled by business-related, performance and societal KPIs.
