FITUR 2018 to anticipate future applications of 5G technology for the tourism industry.

TIM reached DL speeds of 23.4 Gbps at the Polytechnic University of Turin, using spectrum in the 28 GHz band. Partners tested a Virtual Reality tour of a piazza in Turin.

Salt and Nokia demonstrated 5G technology in Salt’s headquarters in Renens, with tests performed in the 3.5 GHz frequency band, thanks to a temporary license obtained from the OFCOM. By means of a 5G antenna with 8x8MiMo, the highest data download speed measured was 4.5 Gbps achieved in the broadband test. Both players showcased VR […]

Telefonica and Huawei jointly demonstrated the industry’s first VR service using 5G end-to-end (E2E) network slicing technology underpinned by Telefonica’s UNICA program.

Mtel trialed 5G technology during a Virtual Reality (VR) demonstration and balancing industrial robots. The VR experiment introduced streaming content with 4K resolution without any delay. Speeds of 2.2 Gbps were measured. The experiment with robots that balance the ball on a flat surface demonstrated a low lag of about 1 millisecond in the 5G […]

Elisa launched tests of VR, AR and game applications on a 5G network it built with Huawei in Pasila, Helsinki. The 5G network operates on the 3.5 GHz band. Furthermore, the operator tested 5G network in a moving car, simultaneously with two 5G terminal devices, in a trial with Huawei in Helsinki’s Pasila district.  Elisa […]

Telia, Intel and Ericsson demonstrated an augmented reality (AR) case over a live 5G network during a Telia event in Stockholm. The partners demonstrated the ways in which 5G capabilities such as low latency and high data rates, combined with AR can enable new real-time applications and services.  The live demonstration on Telia’s network used […]

TIM, Huawei and Fastweb demonstrated virtual reality for tourists as well as an augmented reality tool for ship engines maintenance in Bari and Matera, which are the trialed “5G cities” with budget of 60 million euros over four years. The 5G network was implemented through the use of 3.7-3.8 GHz frequency bands made available by […]

Digi Mobil and Ericsson presented the relevant 5G technology at the “5G INTELLIGENT STEP TO 5G” event on 3 May 2018, predicting the evolution from 4G to 5G of the network used by Digi Mobil. They tested the 5G speed of up to 10 Gbps through a prototype platform as well as the latency of […]
