Vodafone reported that 5G will be bringing in a substantial cash flow to the UK manufacturing sector. It is estimated to bring £6.4 billion (around $8.85 billion) towards the value of the UK manufacturing industry as it can support the government's development plans.

The real value is primarily based on the 5G networks enterprise services.

Vodafone Calls to Action

Vodafone pitched the benefits of 5G and called various industries for aid and a call to action.

The market right now is saturated with WiFi, Bluetooth, and other LPWAN standards. However, 5G services can fix, and even address all of the choices above.

With 5G being super-fast, with better capacity, and ultra-low latency, the network is lining up to help applications that are otherwise used only on other means, like WiFi. The use of 5G will reduce delays, and will provide more availability, and improved reliability in real-world applications.

5G Begins Manufacturing

As reported by TechRadar, privately-owned networks of 5G would allow consumers to define just what kind of specifications or rates will be delivered to the 5G network. This would offer a more comprehensive degree of control for its users.

With a private 5G network, it doesn't need to rely on the help of mobile operators, but rather give more control to consumers instead.

Based on Vodafone's study, private 5G networks can make multiple devices connect and share data or files simultaneously. This ability would also enable the Internet of Things (IoT), which is being used simultaneously.

Businesses will also profit from private 5G networks to make faster and more accurate decisions with the information gathered, whilst fully automating the entire operation.

Low-Maintenance for 5G Users

5G is expected to have low maintenance costs by predicting when and where you should perform maintenance operations. Doing so would deter expensive downtime and offer advantages, such as Virtual or Augmented Reality coming to life for applications.

Making VR and AR more accessible to others can be better utilized by professionals alike to create and plan designs before encoding or set in the final product.

There are also economic benefits based on the UK including areas such as:

  • North East
  • North West
  • Wales
  • Midlands

The report from Vodafone said that it will be a massive operation that needs the help of the government, manufacturers, and willing participants to invest in the private 5G network.

With the help of the government and its people, it would create testing centres in each region and see where it would work out the most.

Vodafone's Stake

The push is because Vodafone has also invested heavily on its 5G Standalone. Not to mention that it has a sizable investment in IoT technology as well, including Multi-Edge Access Computing(MEC).

T-Mobile also is investing in its cheapest 5G phone that is more affordable than an AirPods Pro as an example of the massive shift towards 5G.

The MEC will support local businesses as more and more companies shift to this 5G idea.

Anne Sheehan, Business Director, had this to say: "We are only beginning on the 5G journey, but through our work with Ford, we know it offers huge potential for the manufacturing sector and beyond."

All of this points to the eventual future success as 5G will become a norm for developed countries, and lastly, the world.
