Roll out of 5G begins in Limerick

Limerick is one of the first cities in Ireland to receive commercial 5G, as it is launched in the country for the first time today.

Vodafone has become the first mobile operator to introduce the network, which is going live in Limerick, as well as Dublin, Cork, Galway and Waterford. 

The company says it'll provide faster internet speeds and will have a huge impact on technology use in nearly every industry, including artificial intelligence and self-driving cars. 

Vodafone is also launching a strategic partnership with University College Cork to create the world's first 5G connected telemedicine and medical robotics training centre.
