A MAJOR milestone in improved internet access on the Jurassic Coast has been reached as a new network is installed. The 700 MHz private 5G network has this week been installed to cover a stretch of coastline at Ringstead, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. The installation supports the Dorset Council-led 5G Rural Dorset project, an £8 million initiative which aims to understand how rural communities could benefit from next generation mobile connectivity. Last month, project leaders announced they will fit a Lulworth First Responders vehicle with 5G technology to allow the team to connect to the new network infrastructure which will allow critical data to be transferred to emergency services and improve response time to patients.

EMERGENCY services will be able to respond faster to casualties in need as they are brought into the 21st century with new 5G connectivity. Lulworth First Responders - volunteers with South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) - are working with technology and connectivity partner Excelerate Technology to benefit from 5G capabilities and better respond to patients. The technology company has announced it will fit the Lulworth First Responders vehicle with a router and Excell, its cellular optimisation product. This will allow the first responder team to connect to the new 5G network infrastructure that was installed in Dorset in May, thanks to £8m of funding from Dorset Council, industry partners and the Department for Digital, Media and Sport.
