Overcoming deployment barriers following major regulatory changes

West Midlands 5G (WM5G) successfully accelerated the deployment of 5G connectivity in Wolverhampton by more than six months.

By working in partnership with the council and operators, WM5G was able to propose novel solutions in overcoming deployment barriers following major regulatory changes.

Wolverhampton City Council understood the value that 5G could deliver to the city and were keen to deploy it as quickly as possible, but faced planning and commercial barriers.

WM5G evaluated the issues faced by the council and made a series of recommendations which ultimately enabled the delivery of 5G in the city well ahead of schedule.

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.

Referrer's perspective

“ This was about finding the right balance between maintaining Evelyn's independence and ensuring her safety. By integrating TEC into her care plan, we not only reduced costs but also improved her quality of life, demonstrating how innovative solutions can make a real difference. ”
