Case  Study: How Rural Dorset Benefits from 5G.

Vodafone 5G started an R&D project in rural Dorset as a blueprint for 5G in rural Britain. Among many amazing features, one major advantage of 5G was providing precise and immediate data from fish farms that are at offshore sites. Martin Sutcliffe, the Aquaculture Development Officer at Dorset Coast Forum, said that it used to take a lot of fuel, carbon emissions, and labour costs to check those areas to see if any problems need to be resolved. With 5G, they can access all the data without being there, saving time and money.
