How British manufacturing will be Made in 5G

5Gs promise of fast data speeds and the ability to simultaneously connect a million devices in close proximity has got British manufacturers excited. So, could Made in 5G become a mantra for the UKs industrial sector? The size of the 5G prize for UK manufacturers is huge, with revenues possibly seeing a £2bn boost by 2025. And now, industrial digitalisation – so crucial for the future of British manufacturing, with it driving down costs, improving margins, and reducing time to market – has set the stage for 5G to sit at the heart of UK manufacturing. Made in 5G – a new report by the Digital Catapult – outlines the main challenges to 5G adoption for UK industry, and sets out key usage and adoption recommendations for British manufacturing. Made in 5G sets the wheels in motion for the journey towards Industrial 5G. It’s a long road, and as with all leading-edge technologies, it’s essential for manufacturers to engage early so as not to be left behind, said Jeremy Silver, CEO, Digital Catapult.
