“The 5G pilot project in Andalusia will allow us to develop a large number of use cases, experiences, and applications of 5G that we hope will prove the disruptive advantages of this technology and the capacity of 5G to bring about the emergence of new business models, new applications, new opportunities that we hope Spain will be able to take advantage of”, says Vieira.
