Key Sectors Archive - The Scotland 5G Centre

In our work with businesses, academics and public sector to demonstrate and realise the benefits of 5G, we’re focusing on key sectors where 5G has particular relevance for Scotland.

Rural Development

Rural industries such as agriculture, forestry, fishing and aquaculture are a major strength for Scotland, and an important source of employment. Rural areas still struggle with traditional methods of connectivity, and 5G could change this.

Urban Innovation

5G can unlock new opportunities for the public sector to deploy ‘smart’ public infrastructure in urban areas, and for businesses to help make that happen.

Health

With much of Scotland’s population spread over large areas or in remote locations, 5G could improve delivery of, and access to, healthcare services nationwide.

Manufacturing

Wireless technologies will improve processes as part of ‘Industry 4.0’, to digitalise manufacturing, increasing productivity at a lower cost, and reducing maintenance downtime. 5G has an important role to play here.

Events & Tourism

Scotland’s audiovisual creative industries are growing rapidly, and industries such as tourism and metropolitan events can take advantage of the new capacities offered by 5G to create new products, services and revenue growth.
