dois anos de trabalho pioneiro da Birmingham City University para introduzir a tecnologia digital de ponta na floresta de Sherwood foi reconhecida pelo governo. Ranger Dog chamado Gizmo - no trabalho na famosa floresta antiga. Julia Lopez comentou: “O Reino Unido gastará 250 milhões de libras nos próximos 3 anos em diversificação, concentrando -se na segurança e desligando 2G e 3G para facilitar a inovação. Estamos assumindo uma liderança no mundo real. A indústria de rede de telecomunicações do Reino Unido está enfatizando a colaboração com até 100 milhões de libras no edifício do governo sobre o fantástico trabalho de projetos como Floresta Conectada 5G, Future Ran e Sonic Lab ". Câmeras de alta definição, sensores a laser e conectividade 5G sem fio para criar novos sistemas de gerenciamento ambiental em torno de florestas importantes. Programas de treinamento para a próxima geração e a construção de uma base de engenharia diversa prova futura nossa economia. Estamos ansiosos para ver como podemos apoiar o DCMS na construção de inovações de infraestrutura digital no contexto do líquido zero. O projeto florestal conectado 5G de várias maneiras pioneiro essa ambição
The 5G Connected Forest (5GCF) project, led by Nottinghamshire County Council and delivered by University computer, data, network and AI scientists alongside industry partners, saw Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and ground-breaking robotics – including a forest ranger dog called Gizmo – at work in the famous ancient woodland.
At the recent UK5G Showcase 2022 event, the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) and UK5G celebrated the achievements and outcomes of the £800m UK 5G Testbeds & Trials programme, of which the 5GCF project was part.
Minister of State for Media, Data, and Digital Infrastructure, Julia Lopez commented: “The UK is going to be spending £250million over the next 3 years on diversification, focusing on security and switching off 2G and 3G to make it easier to innovate. We are taking a real-world lead. The UK’s Telecommunications Network Industry is placing emphasis on collaboration with up to £100million from the government building on the terrific work of projects such as 5G Connected Forest, Future Ran and Sonic Lab.”
The work by Birmingham City University’s Cyber-Physical Systems research group, in partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council, saw the integration of state-of-the-art technology in high end robotic systems, using a suite of high-definition cameras, laser sensors and wireless 5G connectivity to create new environmental management systems around important forests.
Professor Julian Beer, Deputy Vice-Chancellor at Birmingham City University, said: “It’s fantastic to see Birmingham City University’s 5G research and Knowledge Exchange expertise being recognised across the UK’s telecommunications sector.
“Investing in research that couples 5G with training programmes for the next generation and building a diverse engineering base future proofs our economy. We look forward to seeing how we can support DCMS in building digital infrastructure innovations in the context of net zero. The 5G Connected Forest project in many ways pioneers this ambition. ”
