5G mobile communication presents new opportunities for mobile/wireless
networks - exciting new use cases through to new business models for network
operation and the provision of services. The Scotland 5G Centre is the national
centre for accelerating the deployment and adoption of 5G and realising its
economic and societal potential for Scotland. It is here to enable all types of
businesses to reap the benefits of this new technology.
The Scotland 5G
Centre is an innovative partnership between the University of Strathclyde
(which hosts the Centre), the University of Glasgow and the Scottish Futures
Trust, with investment from the Scottish Government.
We bring together
entrepreneurs with a network of small businesses, corporates and government
bodies. We foster innovation and collaboration by targeting a diverse set of
partners across the business, technology, and telecommunications industries and
beyond.
Set up in October
2019, as part of the Government’s Programme for Scotland 2019-2020, we have an
instrumental role in delivering Scotland’s 5G strategy.
The Centre is
expected to build and influence a wide network of stakeholders across
government, academia, industry, innovation centres and with those likely to
need and use emerging 5G technologies and solutions. Consequently, identifying
and engaging with those groups stakeholders, including demonstrating the value
and impact of the Centre, will be pivotal. That includes publicising and
exploiting outcomes from our current programme of work:
1. SFT’s leading edge Asset Management
project, Infralink
2. the University of Glasgow’s pioneering
Smart Campus
3. the University of Strathclyde’s
ground-breaking Rural First project.
In addition, the
S5GC Connect Programme, launched in September 2020, will establish a national
network of hubs across Scotland. The S5GConnect
Hubs’ will develop a range of support services reflecting the Scottish
Government’s key economic priorities and bring together industry, academic and
government bodies to offer opportunities to businesses of all sizes and from a
range of sectors. Businesses will have access to a unique demonstration and
development environment, where they can test and develop new 5G applications
and services, whilst establishing new use cases and business models.
