5G

According to the European Commission’s 2021 edition of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), Croatia has moved up to 19th place, but the biggest step forward has been made by investing in the development of the 5G network.

Zagreb’s DOK-ING, a world-renowned company that, by integrating its own innovations and new technologies, develops and manufactures robotic special purpose systems to protect human lives. Their robots are used in the most dangerous environments, such as demining, underground mining, and firefighting.

5G provides entirely new possibilities for the use of machines in different vertical and other industries, as well as the application of new business models that were unimaginable until recently.

According to a new forecast by CSS Insight, about 560 million 5G-capable smartphones will be sold worldwide in 2021 alone, bringing the number of global 5G connections to 637 million.

“5G will have to be available to everyone, we broke the ice and must now introduce new networks across Croatia, not only for ‘fun’ or to be ‘fashionable’ but because it’s hard to imagine any industry investments without fast communication systems.”

On Thursday, Hrvatski Telekom became the first on the domestic market to present the capabilities of the 5G+ network, reaching speeds of up to 4 Gbit/s and network response time of only ten milliseconds. The 5G+ network is based on the 26 GHz frequencies ensured by HT in the 5G spectrum auction, which ended in August.

“Innovation will never stop. The next decade will be a decade of 5G. We hope to work with global partners to continuously innovate based on user experience and industry requirements to take user experience to new heights while digitally transforming industries,” said Chaobin Yang, President of Huawei Wireless Solution, introducing new technologies from Huawei.

As the first country in the world to be fully covered by 5G telecommunications infrastructure, the Principality of Monaco believes it is an ideal location for testing applications, products and services powered by 5G network technology.

Automation, robotization and the replacement of human labor with robotic labor is nothing new, but it’s been happening for the last hundred years and has intensified over the last 30 years.

Telecom companies generate higher revenue from data services than telephony. The total telephone service revenue of major telcos in the three spring months of 2021 amounted to HRK 1.17 billion, most of which relating to mobile phones.
