Mr. Patrick Neary:

Many solutions are being brought to the market and they are almost like a tapestry in that they complement each other to a great extent. 5G mobile would be an outdoor connectivity for on-the-move, outdoor coverage while the NBP deployment is targeting indoor WiFi, essentially to ensure people have broadband in their house, so they can be very complementary services. To answer the question, they are separate networks and 5G is deployed separately by the mobile operators and wireless operators, and the cells the Deputy mentioned are micro cells that are primarily around urban areas but, in more rural areas, they can cover quite large areas as well.

They go hand in hand. 5G is not the only solution but is part of the connectivity that people will rely on.
