The UK economy could get a boost of up to £5bn a year by 2030 – with the roll-out of a better 5G network, an economic model has revealed.
The NHS is likely to benefit the most from 5G-enabled technologies, saving almost £1 billion a year – as higher-quality remote check-ups and patient monitoring reduce the need for hospital or GP visits.
Meanwhile, railway passengers could save up to five million hours a year for the next five years, as 5G-enabled sensors, which pick up problems on the lines and trains, would reduce cancellations or delays.
