Connectivity is way more than 5G

Connectivity is way more than 5G

Despite being the most connected region in the UK for 5G, the West Midlands still has mobile and broadband connectivity challenges. The digital divide is a real concern for a significant number of households and businesses and access to affordable social tariffs remains low. Being unable to access affordable connectivity affects everything from access to school work and on-line payment systems to people’s ability to up-skill and realise the economic, health and social benefits of the digital revolution.

WM5G takes the pain away; helping businesses, public bodies and health organisations realise amazing benefits from new technology.

At WM5G, we believe:

Connectivity is a basic human right, not a nice to have – people and businesses should not be disadvantaged become of a lack of access to, or poor connectivity

Hospitals can be great but there’s no place like home – digital solutions will address health inequality, offering a choice to the many, not the few

Digital technologies are a key enabler for business to survive and thrive – unlocking exceptional growth and efficiencies through up-skilling and adopting at pace
