Telecoms company BT and Ericsson (BS: ERICAs) have struck a multi-million-pound partnership to offer private 5G networks to businesses across Britain, enabling them to deploy the Internet of Things and other technologies quickly and securely.

The partners have already worked together on several major projects incorporating private 5G networks, including Belfast Harbour in Northern Ireland. They have installed a 5G private network across 35 acres of operational port, driving operational efficiencies and optimising processes across transport, logistics, supply chain and shipping, he said.
