Europe has experienced tremendous challenges in 2021 ranging form the pandemic, to fires, crime, and illegal immigration. The Tetra networks are now old and they are can no longer serve the needs of our first responders. We see fantastic progress in various countries on PPDR networks but other European countries are lagging far behind. In this important panel discussion we will discuss the lessons, the business models, and how countries can start to redesign mission critical networks. Our focus will be on the real value that such networks bring to society and communities.

XR is emerging as one of the most interesting digital technologies for 5G. The field is advancing quickly across Augmented, Virtual and Collaborative Realities, and we see real applications across various sectors like I4, maritime, education, and defence to name a few. At the same time, we observe the emergence of the Metaverse as the base platform where all the future realities will be developed. Additionally, there are projects that are integrating digital twins with the Metaverse and XR technologies to create amazing new immersive experiences. All these require a very powerful network and significant capabilities at the edge. And here comes 5G and 6G on the horizon.
