Work with the Scotland 5G Testbed

5G networks provide ultra-fast massive connectivity, low latency, and high capacity. As such, 5G has transformative potential in various areas, including healthcare, transportation, environmental monitoring, manufacturing, and smart cities.

If your company or organisation would like to innovate using 5G, we invite you to collaborate with us at the Scotland 5G Testbed. Located at the University of Glasgow, the Scotland 5G Testbed serves as a research and development platform where industry experts, researchers and policymakers can collaborate to test and develop cutting-edge applications and services enabled by 5G. It provides an environment for you to test innovations without breaking any service level agreements. The testbed is mobile and can be deployed at an external site.
