The concept of 5G network with magnifying glass on modern circuit board, high-speed mobile internet and new generation networks technology background
CONNECT, Three Ireland, and Dublin City Council are inviting businesses and researchers to take part in pioneering 5G Standalone (5G SA) Initiativein Dublin’s Docklands. This initiative—the first of its kind on a public network in Ireland—provides a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge applications of next-generation connectivity and help shape the future of 5G-enabled innovation.
About the Trial
5G Standalone represents the next evolution of mobile networking, operating on a dedicated 5G core rather than existing 4G infrastructure. This technology unlocks:
Ultra-low latency and high reliability – Critical for real-time applications
Network slicing – Custom virtual networks for specific business and research needs
Greater connectivity capacity – Supporting high-density IoT and machine-to-machine communications
Faster data processing – Enabling edge computing, AI-driven automation, and new digital services
Who Should Apply?
We are inviting businesses, startups, and researchers working in:
Smart cities and urban innovation – Traffic monitoring, public safety, and environmental sensing
Advanced manufacturing and automation – Remote control of robots, smart factory systems
Immersive experiences – Next-gen AR/VR applications for training, retail, and entertainment
Connected health and emergency response – Telemedicine, remote diagnostics, and public safety applications
Telecom and networking – Experimentation with edge computing, AI-powered connectivity, and IoT
Whether you’re an established company, an emerging startup, or a research team, this is an opportunity to collaborate with industry and government partners to develop real-world use cases for 5G SA technology.
