The 5G ‘Living Lab’
Accelleran strategically positioned fifteen 5G radio transmitters across five distinct locations, including on four wind turbines. This joint effort culminated in the establishment of an innovative 5G Testbed at Grimsby Port and the Lynn and Inner Dowsing wind farm.
These transmitters are complemented by a solar-powered 5G buoy, designed by JET Connectivity, forming a comprehensive private 5G network. This initiative effortlessly merges green energy solutions with state-of-the-art technology.
Launched in October 2023, this £2.8M project is set to fast-track advancements in digital technologies essential for offshore wind energy production. Click to read more.

Superior Security: As an isolated network, Private 5G offers enhanced security against potential breaches, safeguarding sensitive industrial data.
Real-time Analytics: With the low latency that 5G provides, manufacturing units can process data at unparalleled speeds, making real-time decisions that enhance efficiency.
Flexibility: Easily adapt to changing business needs without the limitations of traditional networks. Whether it’s scaling up operations or integrating new IoT devices, Private 5G can handle it all.
5G, 4G and WiFi
5G vs 4G
5G has been rolling out for quite some time. It’s a major step up from 4G, we’re not just talking about a simple speed boost.
Speed and Bandwidth: 5G operates at a higher frequency than 4G, allowing for faster data download and upload speeds. While 4G might offer speeds of 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps, 5G promises speeds from 50 Mbps to over 10 Gbps, making real-time data processing and analytics possible like never before.
Latency: 5G significantly reduces latency, bringing it down to as low as 1 millisecond. This ensures instantaneous response, vital for applications like augmented reality, virtual reality, and real-time gaming.
Capacity: 5G can support a million devices per square kilometre, a tenfold increase from what 4G offers. This makes 5G ideal for densely populated urban areas and IoT-heavy industries.
Network Efficiency: 5G networks utilise network slicing to allocate bandwidth dynamically based on demand, ensuring efficient use of network resources.
Reliability: With enhanced signal processing techniques, 5G ensures a more reliable connection, vital for critical applications like remote surgeries or autonomous driving.
Whilst 4G brought us the world of high-speed mobile internet, 5G provides ultra-reliable, low-latency communications, propelling industries and consumers into the future.
Private 5G vs WiFi
While WiFi has been the de-facto standard for indoor wireless connectivity for years, Private 5G is emerging as a compelling addition, especially for industries with specific requirements.
Range and Coverage: WiFi networks typically have a limited range, requiring multiple access points for larger areas. In contrast, Private 5G can cover vast industrial areas, both indoor and outdoor, with fewer infrastructure demands.
Reliability: WiFi can suffer from interference and connectivity drops. Private 5G networks offer a more stable and reliable connection, ensuring that critical industrial processes run uninterrupted.
Capacity: While WiFi can handle a decent number of devices, it pales in comparison to the massive device density support offered by 5G, making it ideal for IoT-heavy environments.
Latency: 5G’s ultra-low latency outperforms WiFi, ensuring real-time data processing and instant device communication, essential for applications like autonomous robotics in manufacturing.
Security: With a dedicated infrastructure and advanced encryption, Private 5G networks offer enhanced security compared to WiFi, which can be vulnerable to various attacks.
Flexibility: Unlike the one-size-fits-all approach of WiFi, Private 5G networks can be tailored for specific industrial needs, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
WiFi remains a solid choice for general indoor connectivity, Private 5G provides a tailored, robust, and future-proof solution for industries poised for growth and innovation.
