PM: UK and Germany to collaborate on 5G mobile web

Speaking in Hanover at the CeBIT 2014 trade fair, David Cameron announced that German and British Universities would be collaborating on research towards 5G mobile internet.

He told the conference:

With 4G, an 800 megabyte movie takes around 40 seconds to download; with 5G that would be cut to one second.

This is a prize that researchers all over the world are going for and so I am delighted to announce a new collaboration, between the University of Dresden, King’s College University in London and the University of Surrey.

Three world-leading universities working on 5G hand in hand – that is something to be truly excited about.

– David Cameron
