With incredible 5G speeds and almost zero latency, technologies such as Augmented & Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Holograms will become readily available, taking education and entertainment to a whole new level.
Offering new remote learning possibilities, knowledge that comes alive right before your eyes, the opportunity to watch games or concerts as if you were in the concert hall or pitch and to effectively obtain expert knowledge through interactive applications, the arrival of 5G will give rise to applications that will significantly change our everyday lives and activities.
5G technology will enable innovative digital solutions that will increase the efficiency of both public and private healthcare systems.
The ability to use mobile devices in order to remotely monitor patients in real time or medical robots for situations requiring strict security protocols (e.g., contact with Covid-19 patients), combined with fast large file transfer (e.g., CT scan / MRI) and the opportunity to remotely perform medical interventions in the future, will make citizens feel safer wherever they may be, as prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment will be significantly improved.
Thanks to its ability to connect millions of devices (IoT) and transmit data in almost real time, the 5G network will contribute to the development of smart cities, improve the daily lives of citizens and promote the protection of urban environments.
Intelligent transportation systems using connected vehicles, real-time public transport monitoring, smart parking with live availability updates and traffic optimization with smart traffic lights are only some of the applications designed to respond to the great challenges faced by modern cities, such as soaring population growth and increased traffic congestion.
The 5G network and the ability to simultaneously connect several devices in one single system (IoT) will enable the use of new, modern technologies and equipment that will increase the productivity and efficiency of agricultural and livestock farming units across the country, while at the same time driving down costs and reducing their imprint on the environment.
Enabling the use of remote irrigation systems and targeted spraying; ground sensors permitting farmers to monitor their soil’s chemical and humidity levels; and real-time reports on animal health and their nutritional requirements, 5G will help producers meet the sector’s ever-changing and increasing needs.
The capabilities of 5G technology are considered vital to support and enhance public safety and contingency management.
Innovative applications based on Augmented Reality and remotely operated devices transferring data on real-time (drones, HD cameras and sensors) will help monitor affected areas more efficiently in case of emergency situations and enable a faster transmission of information to first responders, such as firefighters, search and rescue teams, etc.
Real-time emergency alerts (in case of flooding, fires, earthquakes, etc.), pollution monitoring and real-time simulation training will lead to an increased sense of safety among citizens and positively impact the environment as well as the national economy.
5G Campus networks are the perfect solution for "smart" factories. Integrating modern logistics, enhanced performance levels, better range and upgraded security as compared to existing networks, 5G Campus networks can fully meet the “smart” factory’s connectivity requirements.
Businesses will now be able to control and monitor activities effectively, securely and in real time, with centrally-controlled industrial robots and driverless transmission systems. These new features will boost production efficiency, reduce emergency costs and expose staff to less risk through the introduction of remote handling for heavy machinery, while enabling predictive maintenance based on real time data.

The 5G network will not immediately replace 4G. These two networks will coexist for some time, just as it happened in the case of the 4G and 3G networks.
Along with the expansion of the 5G network, we continue to invest in the development of our 4G network, aiming to continuously ensure the best experience for our customers, wherever they may be.
The 5G network will operate in three different frequency ranges, which will complement each other in order to ensure that, whether you are connecting from a remote rural area or a densely populated urban setting, you will be able to enjoy all the infinite possibilities this new technology has to offer!
How? These three frequencies are designed to work like different pieces in a puzzle:
Mid-Band 3.500 Mhz
This frequency is ideal for densely populated urban areas or large open spaces such as stadiums, where multiple devices are used simultaneously and high capacity is required.
Its key features include ultra-high speeds that will initially reach or exceed 1 Gbps, very high network capacity, virtually zero response time (latency) and a limited coverage range.
Mid-Bands 1.800/2.100 Mhz
At the middle level are the frequencies best suited for urban centers since they combine high speeds with good geographical coverage, therefore offering satisfactory capacity and adequate response time.
Low-Band 700 Mhz
Low-band frequencies have speed performance similar to 4G and very large geographical coverage, which is their main advantage. The range of coverage in this range is not affected by obstacles such as buildings, adverse weather conditions, etc., rendering it an ideal solution for the countryside and offering reliable connectivity when connecting from either indoors or outdoors.
