5G breakthrough at sea enhances maritime connectivity

A new EU-funded project led by VTT has successfully tested a groundbreaking solution to extend 5G network coverage and capacity beyond coastal areas, improving communication, safety, and passenger experiences in maritime operations. The project demonstrates Finland’s expertise in 5G technology and marks a significant advance for the shipping industry.

Finland was among the first countries to deploy commercial 5G networks, revolutionising terrestrial communications with high-speed, low-latency connectivity.
