Abstract

The theme selected for this issue – Beyond 5G Communications – is timely, relevant to society and crucial to Portugal. Timely, because it matches the closing of the 5G auction in Portugal, the beginning of the installation of 5G by telecommunications operators, and the first tests of low-latency communications using 5G. Relevant to society, because the fulfilment of visions in sectors such as industry, healthcare, agriculture, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and the sea fundamentally depends on ubiquitous wireless communications networks. Crucial to Portugal, because telecommunications are one of the main pillars for the implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) and the Portugal 2030 programme, both focused on the digital transition and the energy transition.
