Govt wants more 5G in bus shelters and street lamps

摘要

More bus shelters, street lamps and CCTV poles could be fitted with 5G equipment in a Government-sponsored "competition" to boost coverage. The two-year project aims to "ramp up use of street furniture and public buildings" so more people can receive 5G signals. The Government is asking for ideas to make it easier and cheaper for phone networks to use such infrastructure because currently it's difficult for firms to check whether a structure is large enough or close enough to a power source.
