Earlier this year, WM5G launched 5PRING – and the UK’s first 5G innovation centres – with facilities located in Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton.  The facilities will provide private and public sector organisations with the opportunity to experience 5G first-hand, enabling the development of innovative new applications and services.

5PRING is being delivered in partnership with an O2-led consortium, and supported by Wayra UK, Deloitte and Digital Catapult, and is also supported by the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership (GBSLEP) Local Growth Fund.
