Why Choose 5G?

Why choose 5G?

5G isn’t just the next generation of mobile networks – it’s transforming how we work, study and connect with each other.

With a Private 5G Network, businesses of all sizes have a tremendous opportunity to futureproof their organisations, improve productivity, reduce costs and enhance customer experiences.

So, in order to stay ahead of the curve, it’s key that businesses understand the capabilities of 5G and the opportunities it enables.

Scotland faces unique challenges with connectivity as remote and rural areas account for 98% of land mass in Scotland. Adopting 5G ensures that no-one is left behind.

5G offers ultra-low latency, unprecedented speed and multi-connection capability, but what does this mean for businesses?

Improved Business Efficiency

Increased user-end speeds mean that 5G can accommodate and improve day-day working, enabling remote working, accurate real-time data transfer and improved communications capabilities.

With reliable connections and no lag, businesses can conduct high quality video calls on the go and use advanced technology to optimise business operations including augmented reality.

Cuts Costs

The option of remote working allows employees to reduce unnecessary travel, while the potential of augmented reality and 5G-enabled robotics allows businesses to streamline time-consuming tasks and allow people to work together no matter where they are in the world.

Improved Reliability

Think connected devices gathering and sharing information in real time to reduce traffic accidents; production lines which can predict and prevent issues before they occur and interactive working with the ability to control machinery and operations remotely.

Enhanced Customer Experience

Augmented and Virtual Reality provide users with an enhanced immersive experience allowing them to view objects and locations virtually. With overlaid imaging, retailers can showcase their creations, allowing customers to virtually try them on, advertisers can develop immersive displays, and customers can take part in on-site tours of factories and historical locations without leaving their home.

Increased Digital Security

With Private 5G Networks, data can be transferred quicker and more securely. 5G is more reliable than its predecessor 4G due to greater bandwidth, more connection points and expanded radio waves. For cybersecurity, threats can be identified and analysed faster, and with the potential to integrate and connect devices, a cyber audit will have a wider scope to restrain vulnerabilities wherever they occur.

Decreased Downtime

With real-time monitoring, 5G facilitates a more sustainable workforce, optimising time-consuming tasks through automation and digitisation. In the manufacturing sector, connected factories offer the ability to create digital twins, optimising inventories, production, maintenance and warehousing, all in real-time.

Environmentally Friendly

The efficiencies that 5G can bring to organisations can also help reduce carbon emissions with technology such as energy and environmental monitoring software, allowing businesses to assess energy usage and monitor building occupancy and as a result achieve Scotland’s Net Zero targets.

So, what’s next? The first step for businesses interested in futureproofing their organisation is identifying key areas for investment. Businesses who trial and test 5G and the technology it enables will be the most successful. Find out more about how 5G can transform your business – contact us today.
