What if future infrastructure can
help save the planet?

As we face the pressing realities of climate change and environmental degradation, the role of infrastructure in protecting our planet is more critical than ever.

It's now or never. Our choices have not always been serving our planet, and we and the future generations have to face the consequences. Technology and infrastructure has played its part in creating the situation we are in. Neither are something we can eliminate, and we need to make sure our future choices take our planet and future generations into account.

From how we build for technology to how we allow technology consume energy, we have possibility to make an impact.

We want a future where infrastructure is designed with sustainability at its core, leveraging green technologies, renewable energy sources, and eco-friendly materials. By creating systems that minimize carbon footprints, enhance energy efficiency, and promote circular economies, we can significantly reduce our environmental impact.

Help us mitigate climate change, and to foster a healthier, more sustainable world for future generations.

A Method for Validation of Socio-Economic Impact from Connectivity Solutions in Rural Communities

Validating the impact from enhanced connectivity solutions has frequently been related to technological dimensions such as speed, capacity, and coverage. Moreover, research efforts on adoption of digital technologies have traditionally been dedicated to communities in cities and urban areas. Lately, more attention has been paid to socio-economic and environmental dimensions to secure that new digital innovations introduced for the market are business and community friendly as well as environmentally sustainable. Our hypothesis is that connectivity solutions enhanced by 5G and IoT will have large impact on rural communities and industries prevalent in rural areas. The backdrop is that agricultural and forest-based businesses are typically found in rural areas and have just started their digitalization journeys, meaning many benefits are still left uncaptured.
