In 2020 the head of the Bavarian State Chancellery and Minister of State for Federal and European Affairs and Media Dr. Florian Herrmann and the Minister for Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic Doc. Ing. Karel Havlíček, Ph.D., MBA signed the joint declaration of intent for future cooperation in the construction of a 5G Corridor Munich - Prague in order to jointly push digital transformation across borders forward.

What should be achieved?

Strengthening cross-border cooperation in the development of common application scenarios for high-speed cellular networks of the fifth generation (5G).
Implementation of joint bilateral projects, particularly in scientific, technological and economic cooperation in the application areas of eHealth, Industry 4.0, Connected Mobility and Smart Regions.
Creation of a 5G corridor between Munich and Prague as an active part of the “Connecting Europe” Facility (CEF) of the EU Commission.

In order to achieve these goals, close cooperation between science, industry, municipalities, state administrations and those involved in cross-border cooperation is crucial.

5G for eHealth

Digital technologies such as 5G mobile communication offer new opportunities to transform the way we receive and provide health and care services. With 5G, better-connected, integrated, and coordinated healthcare can be designed, enabling innovative approaches to independent living and health and social care. This includes the remote monitoring of patients, utilising robots to help surgeons and improve medical outcomes, managing hospitals more effectively, and providing personalized medicine and smarter medication for more effective treatments.

5G for Industry 4.0

5G is foreseen as key enabler for the future manufacturing ecosystem termed Industry 4.0. The integration of 5G technologies in the manufacturing ecosystem has great potential to accelerate the ongoing digital transformation of the manufacturing industry at all levels and promises to serve Internet of Things devices to offer scalability for Machine to Machine connectivity. Innovations for Industry 4.0 enabled by 5G include integrated manufacturing applications such as digital twin, industrial robotics, and machine vision based remote operations, as well as a control over time-sensitive internal processes.

5G for Connected Mobility

Mobile communication systems will play a central role in the future transport ecosystem. 5G multi-service networks provide, enable, or support services along roads comprising a broad range of digital services in and around vehicles, for instance safety-related, transport efficiency-related, and other services. Connected vehicles in all modes of transport will be able to access mission-critical information in real time. This will contribute to road safety, to a lower carbon footprint, and to a broad range of digital services for drivers and passengers.

5G for Smart Regions

Digital solutions such as 5G can help to create places where people enjoy living and working. Cities, communities, and regions maintain their independence in deploying innovative digital solutions tailored to individual needs for both big and small communities while respecting citizen digital rights. These solutions are broad and include approaches to smart urban mobility, energy efficiency, sustainable housing, digital public services, and civic-led governance, leading to a reduced environmental footprint, increased citizen participation, and more prosperity for businesses.

5G and Cyber Security

The development of secure technologies and reliable 5G platforms is especially important, as 5G networks will serve not only human users but also connected objects, and cover a wide range of areas including eHealth, transport, energy, and entertainment.
