5G and space for societies

The 5th Generation of communication networks (5G) promises to deliver an unprecedented transformation to the way information is shared among people. The ability to deliver extreme mobile broadband, ultra-reliable critical communications and massive machine-type communications will enable the advent of new applications and business models to the benefits of societies worldwide.
The integration of space capabilities with such networks can augment the 5G service offer and address some of the major challenges faced by user communities in verticals such as transport, media, energy, safety and security. To unleash this potential, ESA Business Applications is collaborating with local initiatives engaged in the support of 5G-enabled projects to the benefits of the citizens and local economies.
