Rural Dorset

Vodafone to transform rural Dorset with 5G as a blueprint for rural Britain

Vodafone is working with a DCMS-backed consortium to show how 5G can transform an entire community and help save lives by delivering innovative technologies for Coast & Rescue, Agriculture, Tourism and Business Acceleration.

5G can help keep vulnerable people safe and well, deliver economic growth, and provide enhanced educational and social opportunities. We look forward to sharing our learning experiences with other parts of the UK.”

• Vodafone’s 5G network opens the door to a range of tourism, education and entertainment applications as part of the 5G Rural Dorset project
• Emergency response teams on the Jurassic Coast can reach those in trouble much quicker thanks to 5G-enabled drones, while interactive displays with real-time updates alert visitors to potentially hazardous conditions
• Vodafone is also involved in launching a 5G innovation hub in Winfrith to encourage collaboration between local companies and accelerate development of digital products

Vodafone’s high-speed, ultra-low latency 5G network will transform everyday life, bringing new opportunities to rural Dorset residents and the millions of tourists who visit every year
