Tekes' 5thGear programme presentation

1. 5thGear
Tekes programme 2014–2019

2.  Finland has a unique competence in the wireless area which can
attract investments if the competence can be maintained
 5G is being defined now – ensure Finland’s position in the game
• Big players are participating in European and international activities to define
5G – otherwise participation is limited and thus supportive actions are needed
• Ensure sufficient participation of Finnish SMEs, universities, research
institutes and start-ups to enable them to continue their successful innovation
in the mobile communications area
 Several disruptions and revolutions are expected to be part of 5G,
opening possibilities for new players to enter the game
Finland needs a new and wide national research framework in wireless
connectivity in order to maintain our competiveness, take back market share,
and attract continuing R&D investments
Rationale for the Finnish 5G programme
ICT has been the biggest single factor for the economical growth in Finland during the past 15 years, being responsible
for 2/3 of the technology development behind the growth. It has created 40% of the GDP growth..

3.  Tekes GIGA (Converging Networks) programme 2005–2010
• Wireless access systems, transparent networks, network support systems and
services, telecommunication business and network security
 DIGILE Future Internet program 2008–2012
• Leadership in Internet standardization, security and internet for LTE; seeds for
DIGILE IoT program
 Tekes Trial (Cognitive Radio) programme 2011–2014
• World first ASA trial, created a tight cooperation network among the players in
Finland, high quality international cooperation, good results and publicity
 5thGear programme 2014–2019
Good national cooperation between companies and academia
Strong support for int’l activities, standardization and EU programs
Creation of strong mobile broadband ecosystem including radio research,
systems research and networking research
Successful History of Collaboration in Finland
E.g. in the GIGA programme approximately 1 000 patents were created, including many essential ones related to LTE.
International collaboration took place in FP6/FP7 and standards contributions were made in IETF, ITU-R and IEEE.

4. ”Suomi langattoman tietoliikenteen
huippuosaamisen imussa digitalisaation
innovaatiojohtajaksi ja kansainvälisten investointien
kärkikohteeksi”
”Finland to be the innovation leader in digitalization
and to attract international investments by means of
wireless communications excellence”
Mission

5. Finland excels in 5G research that creates foundations for
future business in global digital market extending the
traditional telecommunications market
A leading piloting-driven telecommunications hot-spot is
established in Finland leveraging the collaboration
between Finnish and international players in the Finnish
ecosystem
5G research and results enable innovations beyond
telecommunications area creating new business
opportunities for Finnish companies
Vision

6. Piloting and demonstration driven world-class 5G research
Cross-industry collaboration, innovation and utilization
Global competiveness, new business opportunities and
international investments

9.  Telecommunications market is global, also business potential has to
be considered globally
 EITO (European Information Technology Observatory):
• The global telecommunications market represents a size of 1 630 B€ in 2012 and
it has been growing in the last years
• The biggest markets are the APAC region with 497 B€ followed by the US with
394 B€ and Europe with 354 B€
• Compared with the global ICT market with a market volume of 2 646 B€ the
telecommunications market is still dominating (global IT market of 1 015 B€
compared to the global telecommunication market of 1 630 B€)
 The ICT generates 5–6 % of the EU GDP and the telecommunications
market 3.0–3.7 %, Finnish figures being approximately on the same
level (in Finland the ICT level was almost 10 % in 2002)
 Through digitalization and the general convergence of industries, the
impact and business potential is expected to be even wider in the
future both globally and in Finland
Business Potential

10. ”Using current
solutions the battery of
a terminal device will
be drained in about 3
minutes in a 5G
network environment”
Real-time remote
monitoring and car-to-
car communications
require low latency
and high reliability
80–90 % of traffic will
be video/TV streaming
in the next few years,
causing network
congestion
Number of devices on the
net is expected to be 50 BN
by 2020 – far beyond the
current network capability
