5G trials are set to launch in Dorset which will see the county become a world leader in agri-tech and help shape the future of food production across the UK. The 5G RuralDorset project, led by Dorset Council and part-funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme, is aimed at understanding how next generation connectivity can make people live better and help create safer and more prosperous lives in rural communities. One of four key research areas within the project includes how 5G can be used to address specific challenges in food production. The agriculture and aquaculture trials, led by Wessex Internet, is the largest of its kind in the UK to date.
