5G

The 7th and last issue of the European 5G Annual Journal was released in May 2023.

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) recently published the 5G Testbeds and Trials (5GTT) Programme interim evaluation.

Against the backdrop of massive industry change, including ambitions to meet net zero, worldwide food production pressures and increasing UK food security concerns due to Ukraine’s ongoing invasion, our farming communities are in a challenging period.

The driving force behind developing opportunities for 5G in Scotland

The role of the Scotland

Unlike the move from 3G to 4G, the transition to 5G has been fairly seamless. It is expected that 5G coverage will have reached 60 per cent of the world’s population by 2026, making it the fastest ever mobile network deployment.

Farming and rural healthcare are amongst the sectors set to benefit

The Crichton, a business and academic campus in Dumfries, will host Scotland’s first rural 5G connectivity hub.

Dorset Local Enterprise is committed to supporting the local rural and natural economy, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and has invested £194,000 towards improving rural further education.

Local Growth Fund investment has been provided to enable two new infrastructure upgrades at Kingston Maurward College, a l

Enhanced connectivity for rural areas

5G RuralDorset today announced a new project expansion to monitor land stability and cliff movement at key points along the Jurassic Coast. The extension to this DCMS-backed project takes its funding to £8 million and sees the British Geological Survey (BGS) join the project to work on this research area.

Small Robot Company, Wessex Internet, Telint and Dorset Council partner to deliver step-change in rural connectivity and agricultural productivity AND £7 million DCMS government grant-funded project will be launch pad for cost-effective farm robotic systems into the future.

There’s a lot more to fifth-generation networks (5G) than the ability to download movies in a blink of an eye or shuttle gigabytes to and from your smartphone faster. The technology will spawn an intelligent ecosystem of connected devices, harvesting massive amounts of data that will change the way we live and work.

Electromagnetic radiation concerns in 5G NR 5G and the associated new technologies such as beamforming and frequencies above 3 GHz have raised a large number of discussions among the population.

Many people are unaware of the benefits of 5G or misunderstand what it is. This is often because the information publicly available about 5G uses technical jargon, which makes it difficult to understand and explain to others.

Leading UK engineers and technologists have found 5G to be just as safe as 4G, 3G and Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), quashing misinformation and conspiracy theories that surround the latest mobile technology.

5G will benefit our economy and society.

It will be better at doing the things that 4G does already, but significantly it will offer faster and more reliable mobile internet.

5G will benefit our economy and society. It will be better at doing the things that 4G does already, but significantly it will offer faster and more reliable mobile internet. It will also do things that 4G cannot.

It’s true that not all of these benefits are instantly accessible, but as 5G matures and innovation continues we expect to see these open up to Health and Social Care.
