Tiivistelmä
The rapid advancement of technology, coupled with the emergence of fifth-generation telecommunication (5G), has prompted various industries to rethink their approach to digitalization and automation. However, the impact of 5G technology on the education sector, particularly within university campuses, remains underexplored. This study investigates how a 5G hyperconnected campus can enhance the educational experience and better prepare students for Industry 4.0.
Through a systematic literature review and empirical data collection, the research highlights how 5G technology can enhance learning environments, improve experiential learning, overcome traditional Wi-Fi limitations, and enhance collaboration and innovation. It also identifies challenges such as funding complexities, technical difficulties, and lack of 5G awareness among stakeholders. Based on these findings, a conceptual model is proposed to transform traditional Wi-Fi-enabled campuses into dynamic 5G hyperconnected spaces.
This research provides evidence of successful 5G integration within university campuses and develops a framework showcasing the value realization through strategic 5G adoption. The study offers a roadmap for future implementation and collaboration between academia, government, and industry emphasizing the potential of 5G to revolutionize educational environments and drive economic and sustainable growth.
