Three men seated on high stools at a professional conference, in front of a blue backdrop. The man on the right, Sylvain Leroux, is the representative of the 5G Metro project. He is holding a microphone and speaking. Behind them, a screen displays the title “5G METRO” and the name “Sylvain Leroux” along with a portrait photo. The scene is part of a presentation of the 5G Metro project at the European Commission booth during the Smart City Expo World Congress. Five men take part in a panel discussion on a blue stage at a professional trade show. One of them is standing and speaking into a microphone, while the other four are seated on high stools. A screen behind them displays a map of Europe and information about 5G for communities. Several exhibition booths and logos are visible in the background.

Presenting 5G Metro! 🚀
With 5G Standalone networks and telepresence robots, we’ll make education more inclusive! Hospitalized or homebound students will join classes as if they were on campus.

An EU-funded (CEF) project by @orange.com, @awabot.bsky.social & @univcotedazur.bsky.social (IMREDD)
In the right of the image, a female student holding notebooks is seen interacting with a fellow student through a telepresence robot. A telepresence robot is like a tablet on wheels, with a screen equipped with a camera, microphone and navigation equipment. The remote student's face is visible on the screen. On the left of the image, there is the logo indicating that the project is funded by the European Union, the logo for the 5G Metro projet, the project's acronym (Merging Education, Telecommunications and Robotic Outreach) and the logos of the partners : Orange, Université Côte d'Azur - IMREDD and Awabot.
