Belinda Fawcett, Chair, Mobile Infrastructure Forum
“In 2025, mobile technology will drive significant advancements in 5G deployment, evolving into 5G Stand Alone (SA) for greater data connectivity, lower latency, and enhanced capacity. We can expect to see a stronger integration of IoT solutions, facilitating smarter cities and more connected industries, from healthcare to agriculture.
“Additionally, there will be a push towards resilience solutions, as the government seeks to ensure reliable power for networks during severe storms and outages. Innovative fixed wireless access (FWA) networks will bridge the gaps where fibre is missing, effectively addressing the last mile challenge and helping to close the digital divide, particularly in rural areas. Sustainability will remain a priority, ensuring that mobile infrastructure supports both technological growth and environmental responsibility.”
