5G Urban Project: University of Glasgow

The key aim of this project is to bring new 5G technological solutions to urban communities and organisations throughout Scotland. They are currently developing a 5G-enabled Smart Campus offering sustainable, healthier and smart solutions to students, academics and the surrounding community. This is already attracting investment into the area, creating new jobs and will lead the way for future smart cities while contributing to Glasgow’s carbon neutral commitment by 2030.

Mobile Health Clinic

Robotic Arm

5G robotic arm uses a haptic feedback controller that allows you to feel senses of touch, motion and pressure and the setup is also being adapted for other commercial applications where extended reality can be applied – all in real time.

Sensors

By using RFID and LoRa technology on desks, data is gathered which can accurately present occupancy information and help to manage estates and offices especially in a multi -occupancy open plan buildings.

3D Holographic Call

5G enabled 3D videoconferencing provides realistic virtual tele -presence that moves away from conventional two -dimensional screens replacing it with holograms. Demonstrations show how this can be applied in a healthcare setting and in 3D Telemedicine.

Mobile Health Clinic

The CMHC is a fully equipped state -of -the -art mobile clinic on wheels supported by a pop -up 5G mobile private network, that enables remote testing, consultation, video diagnostics, monitoring and other care capabilities necessary for a team of trained professionals to carry out.

5G Rural Project: University of Strathclyde

The key aim of this project is to bring new 5G technological solutions to rural communities and organisations throughout Scotland. They are currently working in locations including Loch Lomond and the Orkney Islands, developing a new operational model, such as neutral hosting and private 5G networks. This can lead to improved connectivity for remote communities and businesses, contributing to a new 5G ecosystem across Scotland and driving new business opportunities and inward investment.

Rural 5G Wireless Broadcasting

Media production is highly competitive, and consumers are now looking for high quality, real-time, immersive experiences – especially when it comes to live sporting events. Mobile network coverage is limited in some rural areas, and this can present challenges for live broadcasting. 5G wireless technologies have the capacity and speed to deliver reliable wireless transmission of broadcast-quality videos, that can capture fast-paced activities within a diverse range of environments. Here is an example on how this emerging technology from the University of Strathclyde was applied to broadcasting.

Rural Connectivity

Global 5G-Enabled Projects

Rural Connectivity

Strathclyde University has created created a rural environment to develop 5G radio access networks (RAN) and software defined radio (SDR) capability across all UK shared bands, suitable for the operation of shared spectrum private networks over various use cases.

As part of the 5G New Thinking project, Strathclyde has created a Rural shared spectrum 5G RAN on Orkney, connecting Westray and Flotta to Wave 1 5G Cisco Core.

They have also designed and built a rural testbed on Loch Lomond, with access to a variety of shared spectrum technologies, radio access networks, and 5G core connections to the University of Strathclyde’s main 5G labs.

Global 5G-Enabled Projects

In September 2021 at the MotoGP and Grand Prix, Strathclyde worked in partnership with BTSport, Vislink and Dorna to present a world first in live 5G sports production, using Scottish engineering 5G solutions from their testbeds.

The team has also set up international industry partnerships, and collaborative 5G shared spectrum projects with partners in Ireland, New Zealand, Thailand, USA, Denmark, France, Kenya and the Faroe Islands.

5G Infrastructure Project: Infralink

The key aim of this project is to break down the complex processes and legislative barriers that have delayed the rollout of 4G and 5G infrastructure, by creating a new suite of tools that are balanced, transparent and work at a national level. They are creating an impact in Scotland by eliminating barriers and enabling faster deployment and more investment in mobile connectivity.

Standard Documents

Payment Guidance

Connectivity Marketplace

Infralink-Exchange

Standard Documents

A balanced starting point removes the need to negotiate standard terms, allowing the parties to focus on the nuances relating to deploying new sites or upgrading or relocating existing ones.

Payment Guidance

A recommended methodology and price structure to occupy/use the assets that builds upon the principles of the Electronic Communications Code and recognises the impact of digital infrastructure as a tenant.

Connectivity Marketplace

An online map-based shop window for public sector bodies interested in discussing connectivity in their area allowing them to set out the assets and terms up-front and drive the discussions based on data.

Infralink-Exchange

Infralink-Exchange is a pathfinder project that has been awarded £500k of funding from the UK government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to explore how street furniture can be used to greatly enhance mobile digital connectivity.
