5G Trials Roadmap

Home / 5G Trials Roadmap

The 5G Infrastructure Association launched an activity in 2016 to first, generate a strategy for developing a Pan-European 5G Trials Roadmap, and then, second, to prepare the comprehensive Trials Roadmap.

To generate these documents and roadmaps the 5G Infrastructure Association coordinates a 5G Trials Working Group expanding the work initiated by the Industry and EC in the context of respectively the 5G Manifesto of industry in Europe and the 5G Action Plan of the EU Commission.  This group has to date produced 4 Versions of the Trials Roadmap.
