Change to the 5th Gear
on the Digital Highway
with 5thGear
5thGear
Tekes Programme 2014–2019
Mission
”Suomi langattoman tietoliikenteen
huippuosaamisen imussa digitalisaation
innovaatiojohtajaksi ja kansainvälisten
investointien kärkikohteeksi”
”Finland to be the innovation leader in
digitalization and to attract international
investments by means of wireless
communications excellence”
Objectives
Piloting and demonstration driven worldclass 5G research
Cross-industry collaboration, innovation
and utilization
Global competiveness, new business
opportunities and international investments
”Change to the 5thGear on the Digital Highway”
Gear 1: Low latency
Gear 2: Low energy
Gear 3: High speed
Gear 4: High capacity
Gear 5: Ultra reliability
Big Data and analytics
80–90 % of traffic will
be video/TV streaming
in the next few years,
causing network
congestion
Cyber security
Digitalization Connects
– 5G Enables
Number of devices on the
net is expected to be 50 BN
by 2020 – far beyond the
current network capability
Real-time remote
monitoring and car-tocar communications
require low latency
and high reliability
”Using current
solutions the battery of
a terminal device will
be drained in about 3
minutes in a 5G
network environment”
