Mapping the region’s local authority assets, suitable for mobile network digital infrastructure

The West Midlands is the first region to produce and test a Connected Map, driving a solution that will enable us to become #5GNetworkReady. West Midlands 5G has mapped out the region’s local authority assets that are suitable for mobile network digital infrastructure. Together with existing coverage plans from mobile network operators, WM5G has created a powerful tool to accelerate the deployment of 5G across the region and help close existing 4G coverage gaps.

WM5G’s Connected Map also serves as an interactive tool to illustrate the true picture of digital infrastructure, enabling local authorities and mobile network operators to review their priorities and plan for the future – together.

Key Considerations by Referrer

The referrer reviewed Evelyn’s care plan and determined that the Video Carephone with falls button could replace the lunchtime care call, which had become unnecessary.

The Digital Bed Mat was selected to enhance Evelyn’s safety by providing real-time alerts for unusual bed activity, such as prolonged absence at night.
