ZAGREB, March 20, 2018 - Ericsson Nikola Tesla management Board President Gordana Kovačević said on Tuesday, presenting her company's activities in research and development of new technologies, that implementing 5G technology should be declared a strategic project in Croatia.
5G wireless technology is the next-generation network with download speeds 100 times faster than current ones can handle, Kovačević said at an event that was also attended by Prime Minister Andrej Plenković.
"I would like to suggest to the prime minister to declare 5G technology a strategic project in Croatia and to invest more money into that technology," Kovačević said.
Plenković congratulated Ericsson Nikola Tesla on being a leader in the ICT sector, stressing that 5G technology was a new big leap in the technology transformation. He said the government wanted to attract more investments and create new jobs in that sector.
With development well underway, 5G networks are expected to be launched across the world by 2023, working alongside existing 3G and 4G technology to provide speedier connections that stay online no matter where you are.
