TELEFÓNICA AND 5G: THE TECHNOLOGY CITIES, IN THE VIRTUAL 5G FORUM

The Virtual 5G Forum will analyse the main cases of use of 5G on 6th and 7th May: its application in assisted driving, in the dissemination of audiovisual content, in the 4.0 industry, as well as its application in tourism, health and residential areas.

Telefónica Spain has developed projects with customers, large corporations, small companies, start-ups, universities, technology centres and public administrations. Mercedes Fernández, Innovation Manager at Telefónica Spain, will present the “5G Technology Cities” initiative, which began in 2018, to those attending the Virtual 5G Forum 2020.

“5G Technology Cities was a pioneering initiative in which we started to create a stable ecosystem of partners and a key test environment to stimulate those 5G use cases”, says Fernandez.

“All the pilots we are doing are different from each other, in each new pilot we will use different technologies and network capabilities for different use cases. We are creating dozens of new use cases with 5G”, says Fernandez.

Mercedes Fernández will also present the verticals that Telefónica Spain has seen most active in relation to 5G technology, and will explain how other emerging technologies are very important to accompany 5G in the digital transformation of the future, anticipating what the critical points are for the entire ecosystem to be a success.
