World-leading engineering company, Worcester Bosch, is testing 5g for improved factory output exploring preventative maintenance.
Global manufacturer, Yamazaki Mazak, is also using 5G to conduct trials that will demonstrate how 5G can be used to enhance factory productivity.
Multinational defence company QinetiQ has been designing security into the network and applications known as ‘security by design’.
