EU joins forces with South Korea to prepare for the 5G decade

According to Wikipedia , the stages of development of wireless data transmission, last about 10 years. 3G started in 2001, LTE - in 2010, we are waiting for 5G in 2020. To keep up with the United States in the coming decade, the EU entered into an agreement with South Korea - one of the leading countries in terms of developing wireless technologies.



The agreement, signed in Seoul on June 16 , provides for cooperation between the EU and Korea in the development of a global 5G standard, cooperation in research, launching joint research projects from 2016 and harmonization of radio frequencies allocated to the new standard
- so that devices operating in Korea can work in Europe and vice versa.

The agreement was signed both at the governmental level - by the Vice-President of the European Commission on Digital Issues and the Korean Minister of Science, Information Technology and Futurism (Future Planning - there is such a ministry!), And at the industry level - between the European 5G Infrastructure Association Lucent, Atos, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Nokia, Orange, Telecom Italia, Telenor, Telefonica) and the Korean 5G Forum.

Governments are very proud of this decision: this is the first time that states are united in such a way as to come to the aid of private business and push the process of developing common standards.

In support of their decision, they even made such a picture:


We are waiting for the Russian Federation to join the process.

Since the standard is still in development, 5G generally means wireless technology that allows speeds of up to 10 GB / s.
