Francisco Fontes from the Technological Coordination and Innovation department, was present at two moments in Ciência’18, which took place from July 2-4 at the Lisbon Congress Center, representing Altice Labs and the Telecommunications Institute of Aveiro.
Ciência’18 is an annual event that aims to promote debates among Portuguese researchers on the main themes and challenges of the scientific agenda beyond the universe of research, also involving the business sector and the general public.
The two presentations had 5G as the central element.
The first focused on the presentation of technology as part of an European strategy, catalyzing inclusion, and the expected economic impact in the various sectors of activity.
The second, more technical, was a brief presentation of the technology, focusing on the collaboration activity of Telecommunications Institute of Aveiro with Altice Labs for the development of optical solutions to be applied in the front / mid / backhaul sections of the 5G networks.
In both, the P2020 project “Mobilizador 5G”, coordinated by Altice Labs and with the participation of 14 other institutions, was presented.
