In this podcast episode we discuss with Manuel Lorenzo, Head of the Technology & Innovation of Ericsson (Spain), the “Innovation Trends in I4.0 enabled by 5G and Beyond Networks”.

Manuel has been very active over the past 30 years (since 1994) in the development of wireless networks technology, while currently is leading research and innovation activities associated with the application of wireless networks in industry vertical sectors and the creation of the associated ecosystem to deliver more innovations. On this topic, Manuel recently led the preparation of a White Article under the auspices of the 5G PPP Technology Board, entitled “Innovation Trends in I4.0 enabled by 5G and Beyond Networks”.

In the postcast, Manuel discusses with Prof. Ioannis Tomkos (University of Patras, Greece) the key findings of the studies that are reported in this White Article, focusing on the major trends of I4.0 evolution in the near and mid-term future, what makes 5G/6G so relevant for I4.0, concrete cases of I4.0 initiatives embracing 5G technologies, the role of Non-Public 5G Networks, the most impactful 5G networks innovations for I4.0, what can be expected more as we proceed towards 6G and which specific aspects of the foreseen evolution from 5G to 6G are expected to further propel I4.0 innovations.
