“Today we are seeing a tangible example of how the private sector and the state can work together, both on the level of central government and that of local authorities, and take the necessary steps to accelerate the development of new technologies, ensuring that these are distributed fairly throughout society,” Digital Policy, Communications and Media Minister Nikos Pappas said on Thursday, at an event held by OTE Group to present Greece’s first pilot 5G network, to be set up in the Athens suburb of Zografou
In an outdoor area of the Zografou municipality, OTE presented applications that will be available to the public once the network is up and running. These included a demonstration of simulated telesurgery using a Virtual Reality (VR) mask through an Internet of Skills application, holographic transportation that allows people in different locations to talk at the same place in real time and real-time participation in sports events using VR.
