Identifying 5G technology enablers in the maritime sector using survey and Twitter data

In the maritime sector, 5G enables innovative applications and services to improve efficiency, security, safety and optimise operations. In this context, it is interesting to identify the 5G-enabled applications that foster technological development in the maritime sector. We deploy the survey’s results performed in the context of the European project 5G-LOGINNOV and combine them with Twitter data. Thanks to words frequency and sentiment analysis, we found that in the maritime sector, there are several 5G technological enablers related to real-time information transfer. Furthermore, 5G-enabled applications for cybersecurity, are the most promising technologies.
