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.
