Mobile network operator EE is set to carry out work to an existing 25-metre mast at Bath City Football Club to deploy 5G to surrounding areas. The company said the move would benefit residents who will enjoy much faster internet speeds and reliable internet connection once the work has been completed. 

 

 

 

A spokesman for EE said: "The first generation provided voice calls, the second generation allowed basic data such as texting and the third generation offered internet access and the development of apps.

 

 

 

"Since then the smart phone has developed further and the fourth generation has brought video and much faster data speeds allowing the integration of the smart phone into much wider use."

 

 

 

In its application to the council, EE said: “It is anticipated that the next generation of smart phones will be only a small part of wider mobile connectivity.

 

 

 

“The first generation provided voice calls, the second generation allowed basic data such as texting and the third generation offered internet access and the development of apps.

 

 

 

“Since then the smart phone has developed further and the fourth generation has brought video and faster data speeds, allowing the integration of the smart phone into wider use.

 

 

 

“The next generation of mobile technology is 5G and brings a revolutionary approach to managing spectrum and greatly increasing data speeds.

 

 

 

“The advantages this presents range from near-instant downloads of HD films to connected cars, smart medical devices and smart cities”.
