The final touch to the II forum 5g: the connectivity that moves the world, organized by the electionomista.es, Diego Martínez, President & CEO of Ericsson Spain & Portugal. In Europe there is still a lot of work to be done, Martínez took the opportunity to decree that “in Europe there is an excess of regulation”, and clarified that “USA INNOVA, China copy and improve, and Europe only regulates. This is one of the key issues, because we have to favor creation to compete in the international environment. ”
With regard to the current geopolitical environment, Martínez said that “we live very interesting and agitated moments. We are in a world where we woke up with headlines that call into question all the structures that have been managed”, and added that “we see that there is a technological supremacy between the United States and Chinese, and that between Europe is Europe.” Following this line, he argued that “if we want to continue having this quality of life, a prosperity and maintain European values, we have a great productivity challenge ahead, since the US multiplies the European GDP by two. We are losing the race, we must work in an ecosystem that foster the appearance of national champions that continue to display fiber and 5G networks, because they are the basis of the current revolution,” Martínez pointed out.
New sources of income
There are several ways to access financing, “it is estimated that Spain will invest 34,000 million euros. But you have to continue looking for investment both publicly and private,” said Martínez. Likewise, “a more favored innovation ecosystem is needed at the fiscal level, because we are not competing with a Nokia or a Huawei; but we are competing between states and in order to face we need to have competitive advantages.”
Now, putting a little more focus on financing, “the market in general is oversaturated. There is an excess of supply. Spain, in fact, is the most paradigmatic case. We are in a market where differentiation is key,” Martínez decreed.
“It is necessary to spare the economy and favor access to the digitalization of SMEs, as large companies already have easy access,” Martínez said. And he added that “the vision of the operator and the manufacturer are very complementary, because if the operator is doing well too. And that is a reality.” “Ericsson is a company with more than 150 years since it was created in Sweden and in Spain we have already overcome the centenary barrier, so we have a long history and we know that it is to be at the forefront of technology. We have a template of 1,000 R&D engineers,” Martínez said.
The future of telecommunications
“5G networks are the safest, so they are used by defense or emergency services. They are giving new cases of use. The objective is to improve efficiency, automation to the maximum, … Heaven is basically the limit,” Martínez explained. And he added that “mobile networks have been built on a base, but now 5G can also be articulated at differentiated service levels, as if you were on a plane. That is, you can choose tourist class or premium. And this will be interesting for people who urgently need the effectiveness of the 5G that will choose the most premium category.”
In general, technologies are interconnected and feed on each other. In Martínez’s words, “Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud computing will have new cases of use every time. Thus, with AI and computing, efficiency improvements can be introduced to networks from the identification of errors in the network, improving the use of the spectrum (which this has been reduced by 15%), consumption and sustainability, with savings that reach 15% or, for example, the improvement of the experience of the customer experience, where the improvement of the customer experience, where the improvement of the experience is It has improved 20%. “
With regard to the future, to the big question of: What will be 6g? Martínez said that “if this were a game, with the 5G we would be in the first part. The 6G is expected that the first deployments by 2030, so you still have to make the most of the 5G”, and continued that “it is said that 6G will allow faster speeds, ultra -short latencies, there is also talk of how the virtual reality will change with the internet of the senses, that is, it will come to a point where it will be more. complicated to differentiate the reality from the virtual.
Martínez closed the forum with a clear message “by 2030, Spain will be leading not only in 5G but in the adoption of 6g”.
