We've just heard that Swansea University is now enjoying Vodafone's improved 5G+ service across its Singleton and Bay campuses. The upgrades also include better 4G coverage, which should mean quicker data and clearer voice calls for everyone studying, working or visiting there.
The rollout is part of a wider partnership with the Swansea Bay City Deal and will help power the uni's 'living lab' research into health, fitness and wellbeing sensors.
What the experts are saying
Prof. Keith Lloyd, Director at the National Institute for Sport & Health, said: “The enhanced 5G connectivity across Swansea University’s campuses opens exciting opportunities, especially for our health, wellbeing and sport research.
“Faster, more reliable mobile networks mean we can collect and analyse data in real time, enabling more effective innovation. As well as benefitting research, this upgrade has the potential to improve patient care, supporting remote monitoring and digital health services.”
Shali Thilakan, Business Sales Director at VodafoneThree, said: “Vodafone 5G+ delivers endless connectivity benefits, offering businesses a powerful network that can be built around their needs.
“Swansea University is now in a great position to start taking full advantage of this and we look forward to seeing how it will continue to support the campuses and our customers working, studying or visiting there.”
VodafoneThree is ploughing £11 billion into its UK network, and 5G+ is now live for more than 75% of people in Swansea. If you're on the hunt for a new mobile plan, check our latest mobile phone deals to see what's available in your area.
