With a wide variety of connected devices gathering and sharing information in real time, 5G can provide a variety of possibilities. From reducing road and traffic accidents, monitoring site safety, guiding autonomous vehicles or production lines that can automatically adjust processes – with 5G, the opportunities are infinite.

Together with Mobile Network Operators and all seven local authorities within the West Midlands, the Infrastructure Acceleration team has already helped the region’s towns and cities accelerate access to 5G, working closely with the West Midlands Combined Authority’s (WMCA) seven constituent local authorities in Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley, Sandwell, Birmingham, Solihull and Coventry.

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