Vodafone's 5G network at Gatwick Airport has gone live
5G refers to the fifth generation of mobile networks and promises cell phone users incredibly fast browsing experiences.
From Thursday, the high-speed, high-capacity and fiber optic network will enable travelers to get a strong 5G signal on their devices, Vodafone said. Vodafone said that 5G would support airport initiatives such as a forthcoming trial of robotic parking and the increased automation of a range of check-in and boarding systems. At the moment, the airport's South Terminal is 5G ready, with the North Terminal set to follow suit by early 2020.
Ben Stanton, a senior analyst at Canalys, told CNBC via email that while many airports had Wi-Fi networks set up, user experience was not always smooth. "Connecting to these networks can be a pain and require users to give up personal details like an email address," he added.
