Une personne utilise un ordinateur portable affichant sur l'écran l'interface d'utilisation du robot de téléprésence Beam de Awabot. En plus de l'image de la personne qui contrôle le robot, l'écran montre également deux autres fenêtres avec des vues des caméras embarquées du robot : une qui affiche les personnes avec qui l'utilisateur est en train de discuter, et une autre qui affiche la base du robot et les lignes virtuelles qui guident la navigation de celui-ci.
🧭 Navigating indoors is key — for inclusive campuses and telepresence. Our latest article dives into the challenges and how #5GMetro tackles them with 5G, robotics & more.

✅ Everyone’s asking for replicable solutions.
From uni campuses to hospitals, the message is clear: we need scalable models — and 5G Metro is building one.
#5GTelepresence
✅ Inclusion is the future.
Telepresence in the classroom isn’t just tech — it’s about empathy and real participation for remote students.
#InclusiveInnovation
✅ Hybrid 5G is catching on.
Many showed strong interest in our mix of private/public 5G — not just for education, but for health, museums, and smart public services.
