Pioneering 5G pilot to focus on advanced logistics A ground-breaking pilot project, which will see pioneering 5G technology used in an operational automotive environment for the very first time in the UK, has been announced. North, a leading UK IoT service and solutions provider, has been appointed to design, build and support the £4.9 million operation, which will take place close to Vantec at the Nissan test track in Sunderland, addressing the next innovation challenge of last mile logistics â with the automation of a 40 tonne HGV. The project will see North partner with Nokia, to access the latest 5G technology in a project that it is hoped will establish the North East as a global leader in advanced logistics. Importantly, the project has the potential to support the continued revolution in Connected Automated Logistics (CAL) and provides a 5G core for the North East, positioning it for further investment and growth.
