It will connect shetland to the national grid and allow wind farms to export energy south. it s notjust manpower, but new technologies that are making it happen. it s a big project! bosses here thought a private 5g network would be a good idea. faster internet speeds and better connectivity. we ve got a fibre optic connection that runs on the road just down the valley, we ve then got a microwave link and there s a fibre optic connection to each of the 5g masts. what the 5g network does is provide a high speed wireless internet connection, low latency and very high speed, essentially as fast as the incoming fibre optic connection. and with those 5g masts up, they welcomed a new site inspector. the aim of the engineers is that spot can connect to the 5g network
There s rain, hail, snow and sometimes there s sunshine. but, crucially, there is also wind. a lot of wind. only one quarter of the renewable wind energy produced on shetland is used to power the island. so, here, the teams are building an electricity converter station and substation. it will connect shetland to the national grid and allow wind farms to export energy south. it s notjust manpower, but new technologies that are making it happen. it s a big project! bosses here thought a private 56 network would be a good idea faster internet speeds and better connectivity. we ve got a fibre optic connection that runs on the road just down the valley, we ve then got a microwave link and there s a fibre optic connection to each of the sg masts. what the 56 network does is provide a high speed wireless internet connection,
