5G is the future - and not only in terms of mobile technology. The new mobile communications standard will also transform supermarkets in the coming years - from shopping trolleys to logistics and transport of goods. 

In Floridsdorf

an INTERSPAR is acting as a test shop for 5G; here the shopping trolleys are connected to the 5G network. Where the trolleys are in the shop, how long they are in use and when they are expected to reach the checkout - all this information can be registered by a computer here.
