The next generation of mobile telecommunications, known as ‘5G’, comes with a set of opportunities for Local Authorities that may not be self-evident at first glance, based on a new model called ‘Neutral Host’. 5G is a technological step change triggering a transformation in market incentives, making the ‘Neutral Host’ model operationally feasible and increasingly commercially attractive.
Perform Green, in collaboration with commercial law firm Bevan Brittan, have produced an essential guide that explains how a network built using 5G technologies and architecture has a number of characteristics that will make it valuable to Local Authorities seeking new revenue streams as well as providing opportunities to improve services for citizens and attract new businesses.
Within our guide, we aim to provide senior officials and council leaders with a high level understanding of the principles, opportunity and potential barriers involved in the provision of a new model of mobile networks provision and commercialisation. This new approach, highlighted in the recently published DCMS Future of Telecoms Infrastructure Review, has the proven potential to generate millions of pounds in new revenue for a Local Authority, create the digital infrastructure in support of public service transformation, and increase local economic output through digital enterprise.
It is easy to become lost in the hype and ‘techno-speak’ of any major shift in technology; our guide cuts through that to lay out the opportunity in real terms.
