The upcoming 5G mobile data standard should deliver blisteringly fast speeds (expected to be 100Meg - on your mobile!). A bid has been submitted to have it tested here on the Isle of Wight, way ahead of the rest of the UK's 2020 start.
The UK’s National Infrastructure Commission says,
“5G means seamless connectivity. Ultra-fast, ultra-reliable, ultra-high capacity transmitting at super low latency. It will support the ever larger data requirements of the existing network and new applications from augmented reality to connected vehicles and the Internet of Things, and many more, as unknowable today as the 4G services we take for granted would have been a decade ago.”
A growing number of Islanders are unhappy about the roll-out of 5G on the Island and have been holding protests.
Below are some of the articles relating to 5G on the Isle of Wight.
