Worcestershire 5G Testbed Mark Stansfeld - Chair of Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership and 5G Lead for Midlands Engine

Our vision for a Connected County “To build a connected, creative, dynamic economy that delivers increased prosperity for all those who choose to live, work, visit and invest in Worcestershire.”

Objectives for our 5GTT project Worcestershire has been awarded £4.8million to provide: A quantified assessment of how Industry 4.0/Remote Manufacturing, made possible only by 5G, increases productivity in the areas of Preventative Maintenance, Use of Robotics and Assisted Maintenance using AR Cyber-security and spectrum resilience capabilities for 5G networks to ensure ‘security by design’ Cyber-security Test and Assurance Services for critical 5G applications to ensure ‘security by design’ An exploration of a new Business Model made possible by 5G, specifically the viability of selling time on a machine as opposed to requiring the capital purchase of the machine itself

Contrary to widespread perceptions, UK manufacturing is strong with the UK currently the world's ninth largest industrial nation. Manufacturing makes up 10% of GVA and 45% of UK exports, and directly employs 2.7 million people.

Security 2.5% (5700) of jobs but key growth Sector Network slicing is expected to play a critical role in 5G networks because of the multitude of use cases and new services 5G will support. These new use cases and services will place different requirements on the network in terms of functionality, and will their performance requirements will vary enormously. For example, an autonomous car will rely on V2X (vehicle-to-anything) communication which requires low latency but not necessarily a high throughput. A streaming service watched while the car is in motion will require a high throughput and is susceptible to latency. Both would be able to be delivered over the same common physical network on virtual network slices, to optimise use of the physical network.
