In April 2022, The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) commissioned ABI research to conduct a study into the use of 5G in Asia. The objective was to better understand the impact and extent of real world deployments of 5G.

The report covers:

  • the impacts of 5G use cases from 156 case studies, across 10 sectors
  • the productivity, carbon reduction and safety benefits of 5G use cases
  • a cost-benefit analysis for the average large manufacturing firm upgrading to 5G

The report uses evidence from literature review and a series of stakeholder interviews. The report was completed in December of 2022.

Since producing this report, responsibility for Digital Infrastructure has moved to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).
