the only thing i really missed this year was you, but you ve been to the great british seaside instead, haven t you? yeah, i ve been to dorset, which is beautiful and hopefully made safer thanks to 5g. every year, around 22 million people flock to the spectacular jurassic coast in the south of england. so public safety is a serious concern. whether it is hiking along the coast or swimming in the sea, huge crowds and a wild location means serious incidents are inevitable. it wasn t so long ago that if you got yourself into trouble, you needed to make your way up here to use this, but now 5g has connected the coast. and the initiative to save lives starts out at sea, with the world s first 5g connected buoys. the data they collect includes current, wave height and tidal conditions.
and a wild location mean serious incidents are inevitable. it wasn t so long ago that if you got yourself into trouble, you needed to make your up here to use this. but now, 56 has connected the coast. and the initiative to save lives starts out at sea with the world s first sg connected buoys. the data they collect includes current, wave height and tidal conditions, and that s all beamed back to shore with speeds claimed to be 8,000 times faster than current technology used out at sea. low latency is so vital because it enables real time decision making. so, any changes or sudden changes in the weather can be notified and people are kept up to date to help keep safety and make sure that people are utilising the coastal environment sensibly. these buoys offer more than just sensor data. aquaculture farming at sea
is a growing part of dorset s economy and sg connected cameras underneath the buoys offer continuous monitoring of seaweed growth and also make sure that no one steals it! believe it or not, people do steal that kind of crop along the jurassic coast and we re feeding those images via high definition cameras into an ai algorithm which is analysing the growth rates and saying, is this seaweed developing at the rate that we would expect it to? and the sea data connected by the buoys is also transmitted via 56 to connected signs dotted along the coastline, providing potentially life saving, real time information for visitors. buoy is sending information about things like sea temperature, the sea state, wave height to goes to connected signs. and the whole point, really, is to give people a nowcast rather than a forecast of what the conditions
real time information for visitors. buoy is sending information about things like the sea temperature, the sea state, wave height and goes to connected signs. the whole point really is to give people a nowcast rather than a forecast of what conditions are like in the water. the connected signs also have foot fall counters to relay real time data to emergency services to prevent overcrowding. and with millions of annual visitors coming to a spot with limited connectivity, the 56 network could make a vital difference. if you come down to the beach here, there is no cellular connectivity, which is quite annoying. if you ve just come here for the day to play with your kids or whatever, but actually, from a public safety point of view, it presents real challenges and can really be the difference between saving lives or not. and while erosion has helped shape this stunning coastline, it can also be dangerous.
