A MAJOR milestone in improved internet access on the Jurassic Coast has been reached as a new network is installed.
The 700 MHz private 5G network has this week been installed to cover a stretch of coastline at Ringstead, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door.
The installation supports the Dorset Council-led 5G Rural Dorset project, an £8 million initiative which aims to understand how rural communities could benefit from next generation mobile connectivity.
Last month, project leaders announced they will fit a Lulworth First Responders' vehicle with 5G technology to allow the team to connect to the new network infrastructure which will allow critical data to be transferred to emergency services and improve response time to patients.
