IN ASSOCIATION WITH
Thirty-five years after Britain’s first-ever mobile phone call was made over Vodafone’s network, 5G is set to revolutionise the way we work, live and travel across the UK. This month, Vodafone opened the door to 5G with Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool and London becoming among the first cities in the world to get on board. Later this year, we will be bringing 5G technology to a further 12 towns including Blackpool and Bournemouth.
For most consumers, the no. 1 question asked of 5G is about its speed. But the fifth generation of wireless mobile technology concerns much more than ultra-quick downloads and web pages that are faster than ever to load. If the government can create the most positive possible environment for rollout, the benefits will be felt across society, the economy and the environment.
