4G opens up new possibilities.
As well as making what you already do, easier. Some ideas about how 4G could be used when it launches.
Retail: Extending your brand. Anywhere.
4G for policing: more control where it matters
A large retailer is looking at new ways to grow and nurture its business and brand presence through pop up shops. With 4G connectivity it could test and deliver more at large events and travel shows, shopping centres and the high street. A 4G-connected tablet station could allow customers to browse and buy their products and services. And in hard to reach locations, it could enable you to take your brand to the customer with temporary and mobile stores.
A police force is tasked with keeping the peace at a Premiership stadium.
4G for taxis and private hire Retaining and attracting more business Taxi and private hire providers need to look at new ways of fostering customer loyalty and attracting new ones. One way of doing this is by offering free wifi to their passengers. A 4G mobile wifi device could turn a taxi into a travelling hotspot. This could improve the service provided and increase customer satisfaction. And it offers the potential for more fares and reduced wait time between customers.
We’re collaborating with Vodafone to create a national grid of 18,500 sites
Commitment
Our wise network investment means that we hope to achieve this up to two years early
We’re the only operator committed to a regulatory requirement of reaching 98% indoor population coverage by 2017
With 4G, police commanders could view real-time video footage. With more intelligence at their fingertips, they could make betterinformed decisions, faster. GPS tracking of officers could allow real-time tactical monitoring of the entire event. And they could set up a mobile command vehicle with computers connected via a 4G hotspot.

4G for nursing: more time for patients
Stream video on the move
A team of district nurses visit a number of patients, some with skin ailments like pressure sores and ulcers. The nurses are supported by a specialist tissue viability nurse. With 4G-enabled tablets, the nurses could use video to interact with the specialist nurse, who then supports the whole team remotely. This could mean earlier and faster treatment for more patients.
