Vodafone<\/a> has published a new report from WPI Economics, which perhaps predictably forecasts that the cumulative gains of UK businesses moving from 4G<\/a> to 5G<\/a> (mobile broadband) could produce an economic boost of more than \u00a338bn by 2025, plus \u00a3120bn between 2025 to 2030 (total productivity-based boost of \u00a3158bn).<\/p>\n

This report<\/a><\/strong> outlines examples of where the benefits of 5G<\/a> are already being realised and sets out some of its potential future uses. For example, it predicts that 5G<\/a> will help hospital surgeons work with more precision than ever, while people in remote communities will have access to the kind of care that would once have required hours of travel.<\/p>\n

Likewise it claims that teachers in schools “will be able to share rich virtual experiences with their classes and children will be able to explore the solar system, the human body and the ocean floor like never before<\/em>.” On top of that there are mentions of how 5G could “revolutionise traffic and congestion management<\/em>“, such as by reducing delays and allowing quicker access for emergency services.<\/p>\n

However, the report warns that these benefits are “not guaranteed<\/em>” and, if the UK is to become a global leader in 5G, it states that more still needs to be done. “The key to unlocking the UK’s potential to become a global digital leader is investment in 5G supported by full fibre,<\/em>” says the report, albeit without highlighting how much of a role that full fibre aspect plays in their economic prediction.<\/p>\n

Equally, reading between the lines, the report may also be hinting at the potentially negative impact (as perceived by Vodafone<\/a>) from the Government’s expected decision to ban Huawei from future 5G networks in the UK.<\/p>\n

Report Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

To unleash the full economic potential of 5G, Government needs to help create the policy, procurement and investment environment that will support these ambitions. This includes Government leading the way by committing to a \u2018smart by default\u2019 procurement strategy and removing barriers to 5G rollout in order to create the right investment climate.<\/p>\n

The Government has previously committed to rolling out full fibre and gigabit capable broadband to every home and business across the UK by 2025 and for the majority of the population to be covered by a 5G signal by 2027, and the recently-signed Shared Rural Network deal has an important part to play in filling coverage gaps in the more remote rural areas.<\/p>\n

But the Government should go further and adapt its current 5G strategy to create the conditions and support that could enable the rollout of 5G to the majority of the population by 2025.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You’ll have to forgive this author for opting not to delve too much further into Vodafone<\/a>’s full report, since a mobile operator singing the praises of a new mobile network technology – one that they are already in the process of deploying – is a bit like a dentist telling you that teeth are good. Predictable and thus, dare I say it, just a little bit boring. We’ve had enough 5G hype over the past few years to last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

All of this is before we even get into that endlessly tedious debate about the inherently difficult task of accurately attaching a positive economic impact to faster broadband speeds (mobile or otherwise), lower latency and greater reliability (example<\/a>), particularly given that existing 4G<\/a> networks can already do a lot of what 5G is often hyped up to deliver. Likewise a lot of the benefits highlighted could also just as easily come from fixed broadband lines.<\/p>\n

None of this is to say that 5G won’t deliver various big improvements, it absolutely will, but it’s still more of an evolutionary than revolutionary technology and much will still depend upon how much spectrum Ofcom<\/a> releases. Meanwhile reports predicting an economic boost are, as the Americans would say, “a dime a dozen<\/em>“, while reports examining what kind of actual improvement was ultimately delivered are somewhat less common for mobile technologies. Take with a pinch of salt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
