Werner Mohr, head of research alliances at Nokia Solutions and Networks and chair of the 5G PPP Association, said LTE is expected to meet market demand until the end of this decade, after which the new generation of technology will be needed. The 5G project will receive EUR 700 million from the EU over the next seven years. The funding will be allocated through tenders under the EU's Horizon R&D subsidy programme.
