We help simplify the benefits of tech and digitalisation
We are a brand new innovation and digital acceleration company, born from a 3-year DCMS funded programme to accelerate the roll out of 5G and be the lead partner of the DCMS 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme.
In March 2022 this project came to an end and we are now using the case studies and learnings from the testbed trials to benefit organisations primarily in the connectivity, transport, manufacturing and healthcare sectors.
Despite our name, WM5G doesn’t only help accelerate the benefits of 5G, we also help businesses innovate and become future fit through connectivity solutions, Internet of Things and AI.

How we delivered real benefits for the West Midlands…
Our test and trials projects as part of the DCMS and WMCA funded programme included projects in the areas of health and social care, transport and manufacturing. From connected ultrasound to self-drive vehicles, WM5G is opening up new pathways of possibility through 5G.
WM5G is also working in partnership with local authorities and mobile network providers to accelerate the roll-out of 5G and fibre networks, a crucial part of delivering strong signal coverage.
We’ve already made great headway, the West Midlands and Birmingham have reaped the rewards of WM5G’s Infrastructure Acceleration programme and have been ranked highest in a new 5G mobile coverage study by an independent telecoms advisory company.
The study analysed 5G coverage across the UK’s Combined Authority areas and placed the West Midlands first for 5G coverage, whilst Birmingham also ranked highest for 5G coverage among the top six cities in England and Scotland – according to the Umlaut Audit Report, 5G Coverage in the UK 2021.
