The company One and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering have put into operation a 5G zone in the hall of the building of the technical faculties, which enables the academic community, students and start-ups to work on projects based on 5G technology.
Rector of the University of Montenegro Vladimir Bozovic, PhD expressed gratitude to the company One, which recognizes efforts and wishes of the University of Montenegro and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, in todays case, by installing the first 5G station in the academic network at the regional level, which is a significant technological step forward for the University of Montenegro.
"In that sense, we can say that the University is extremely close to the highest world standard and that the world has come to us. We believe that this is one of the steps that will contribute to the best among us, students, researchers, future scientists, to understand that there are exceptional conditions here, and this is one of the indicators that they can develop their science and ambitions in Montenegro. “he said.
"The fact that ETF is the first academic community to have access to the 5G network is an unequivocal confirmation that advanced, visionary companies appreciate what the Faculty of Electrical Engineering does, and that they see us as a serious partner in creating an even better environment for science, research and production,” FEE Dean Sasa Mujovic said.
Robert Budafoki, Vice President for International Telecommunications Portfolio of the 4iG Group, said that the Groups growth strategy is based on cooperation between the IT and telecommunications sectors, so it is only natural that the first partner on the 5G path will be the ETF. “Our goal is to implement the innovations and technology of the future into telecommunications services, and one of the first steps is to involve the IT community and students who can count on our support. The launch of 5G is a major milestone in current technological change and due to the strong IT foundation of the 4iG Group, we understand the importance of involving and preparing young IT people for one of the biggest industrial revolutions to date, ” Budafoki said. The director of the company One, Branko Mitrović, said that the cooperation with the ETF opens a unique technological polygon for the development of solutions based on 5G technology. “With a 5G base station, students will get a chance to test their ideas. We cant even imagine what kind of ideas come to the students minds, but we can provide them with the infrastructure to fulfill them. This represents an important technological step forward at this moment for students and the academic community, and in the coming period for all business entities in Montenegro, " Mitrovic said. Students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering are looking forward to projects that will enable them 5G technology. Vladimir Novović, a student of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at UCG in the field of Telecommunications, emphasizes that this period should be used primarily to test the transmission speeds that are maximally achievable in a given range, as well as the delay in transmission. His colleague, Vasilije Lutovac, a first-year masters student in Telecommunications, points out that the control of industrial processes with 5G trilogy is an excellent example that could completely change the Montenegrin industry. Also, smart farms would greatly help people engaged in agriculture, and autonomous vehicles are something that is unequivocally tied to 5G. One recently launched the first 5G zone covering the area of Rimski trg in Podgorica and the companys administrative building, and already in the first week of testing, a record speed of data transfer in Montenegro of 1648 Mbps was recorded. One is determined to accelerate the new cycle of investment in 5G-oriented mobile infrastructure capacity in Montenegro. One was also the only operator to invest in the 2.6 TDD spectrum band at the last frequency auction in December. The band that will be available for auction at the upcoming spectrum auction will perfectly complement and increase the potential of existing spectrum resources targeting 4G and 5G - they also include the 3.6 GHz band, which is now being tested using temporary testing licenses.
