Communication technologies are very important. Currently, they influence not only the daily lives of people, who notice mainly when the system is down and the service is unavailable, but also the sovereignty of countries. It is crucial that Brazil has know-how in telecommunications. UFPA offers a Telecommunications Engineering course. The present project is part of a collaboration of more than a decade between UFPA and the company Ericsson. This collaboration has already received a national award due to the positive results it brought to UFPA, and the current project is an opportunity for professors and students to conduct research on fifth-generation (5G) technologies. In addition to the technological issue, there is also the social importance. With the trend of globalization in the current world, digital inclusion has become one of the main social actions that seeks to insert populations on the margins of digital and technological advancement, such as rural Amazonian communities. Research in telecommunications at UFPA has allowed the institution to position itself at the forefront of actions for digital inclusion in the Amazon. It may go unnoticed by the eyes of an inattentive observer, but it is research projects like the current one that allow teachers and students to go beyond book content and achieve the capacity to innovate. Aligned with the history of results obtained in previous projects, the group hopes that the current project will result in doctoral theses, master's dissertations, and articles in Qualis CAPES journals. Without even going into technical details, all these indicators from the past are proof that the project team has the credentials to generate innovation and research with originality. More specifically, the originality of the project is centered on innovative technologies to support 5G applications that involve Artificial Intelligence (AI), exemplified through experimentation environments using a real network, drones, sensors, and cameras.
