Forecast: 5G SA on road, rail to unlock £3bn for UK economy
Why is it so hard getting an unbroken mobile signal on a train?
Ensuring consistent mobile reception on UK railways is difficult. The role 5G SA can play in helping reduce train delays amounts to a GBP10 million saving in delay compensation that could be reinvested into critical infrastructure. Meanwhile, reduced congestion and journey delays for freight drivers thanks to 5G-connected devices on the UK’s roads would equate to productivity savings of GBP140 million per year for businesses in the sector by reducing traffic, making journeys smarter, and deliveries more time efficient.
