Milton Keynes Council is preparing to run a series of trials on the use of 5G in mobility services.
It has secured £4.1 million of funding from various sources, including £2.3 million from the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, for its MK5G Create programme to be run from Stadium MK through February and March.
The trials will include the use of driverless shuttles and road vehicles for moving people and goods across the stadium site, autonomous surveillance vehicles and drones for enhancing security, and testing out robots and drones for goods delivery and hospitality use.
Partners include BT, Appyway Parking, RDM, Imperium Drive, Metaswitch, MK Dons, Neutral Wireless, City Fibre, Smart City and the Connected Places and Satellite Applications Catapults.
