5G

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.

The evolving operations challenges enterprises face related to coverage, capacity, reliability, and control require new communications capabilities beyond traditional public networks. These challenges coupled with emerging technologies are pushing private 4G or 5G networks to the market faster.

Briefing presentation for a competition for local authorities across the UK to establish themselves as ‘5G Innovation Regions’ (5GIRs) to drive 5G adoption, with a focus on key sectors where there is local capability and opportunities.

The government is working to establish a potential £160 million scheme to fund the next generation of satellite communications development and boost the UK’s leadership in the ever-growing global satellite market.

Introduction

The advantages of private cellular networks are well rehearsed – from data usage savings and enhanced traffic flow, to better control and information security.
