FINDING
NEMO 5G
A large part of our economy takes place at sea.
You can imagine this involves quite a few challenges
when it comes to data and communication. With
5G at sea, not only do we tackle these challenges,
but we are contributing to reducing CO2 (carbon
dioxide) emissions.
RAPIDLY DIGITIZING SECTORS
The North Sea plays a major role in our
economy. Not only is it of great importance
to the entire maritime sector, but let’s not
forget the oil- and gas- or the generation of
wind energy industries. The importance of
mobile communication at sea is increasing.
T-Mobile successfully participated in the
auction of the 700MHz frequency band in the
North Sea area, providing for the expansion
of a nationwide 5G network on open water.
An important step for the rapidly digitizing
sectors in this area, such as the rescue
brigade, the coast guard and wind farms.
EXCITING STEPS
SimonRS made it possible for researchers to
virtually step on board and provide remote
support at sea. And they can carefully
monitor and ensure safety through live video
streams due to low latency. This is very
exciting. But as demand is expected to grow
further in the coming years, it is important
we keep operating as a climate neutral and
circular company. So how do we do that?
