EMPOWERING THE GIGABIT SOCIETY
Building the Gigabit Society can be considered as a transformative path to the kind of society in which every person would benefit from full digital empowerment and would (inclusively and ubiquitously) have access to new, innovative products and services, ranging from connected cars to e-government and from e-health to the Internet of Things.
Such an effort is not possible unless we collectively pursue for cutting-edge connectivity, beyond 5G, targeting the attainment of network speeds significantly up to 1,000 Mbps for all consumers and a minimum of 1 Gbps/x Gbps for public institutions, major transport hubs, and digitally intensive businesses.
Connectivity Needs To Be Ubiquitous
For innovative products and services to emerge connectivity must be pervasive, permeating through any thing, any place and at any time.

To put this into context, our technology can provide access to computational services for gig economy workers providing real time remote access to expensive software and powerful hardware at a fraction of the cost of purchasing that software and equipment. This is available right now.
And in the near future cities will adapt energy consumption based on immediate needs; control traffic continuously through adaptive signalling and with autonomous vehicles; protect their citizens with real time early warning system for earthquakes and viral detection.
Demand For Better Connectivity Is Growing Exponentially
The capability and capacity that current legacy and fiber-optic technology offer will be eclipsed from 2025 onwards due to exponentially growing demand for hyper high bandwidth, ultra-high reliability, ULL (ultra-low-latency), high resolution localisation and other requirements that gigabit devices and services need to function.
Existing copper and fiber-optic networks and infrastructure are at capacity, and right now cannot meet society's exponentially increasing data demands.
Current infrastructure is increasingly expensive to maintain. Roll out of any new capacity utilising fiber-optic technology is high cost and too slow to implement.
End users are being charged high prices for limited download bandwidth, restricted upload bandwidth and high density with too many users at a location access, at the same time.
Building The Next Generation Infrastructure
The coming deployment of gigabit services and products urges for building the next generation intranet/internet infrastructure and offerings based on the best of global products and services.
The technology must achieve the following Key Performance Indicator (KPI) targets:
The next-generation infrastructure should primarily be seen as the digital ultra wide-band wireless infrastructure, and as a first-rate developmental resource. It recently experienced dramatic changes with technology development and solutions that strongly challenge the existing business, managerial and designing knowledge, competences and business solutions.
