The most exciting place to test cars has just become the most exciting place to test mobile phones. Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire is where motor manufacturers go to test prototype cars. The British Government, recognising the importance of 5G technology and keen for the UK to have a leading position, is funding a number of testbed projects. The AutoAir consortium is led by Airspan, with support from the 5GIC, Arm, Blu Wireless, Dense Air, McLaren Applied Technologies, Millbrook, Quortus and Real Wireless. The data will also be used by Real Wireless for the development of a model to build the business case for the deployment a neutral hosted 5G network along the national road and also rail networks.
