Science Minister Chris Bryant opened the Digital Catapult 5G Immersive Lab in Newcastle's Eldon Square shopping centre. The lab, which occupies the former Giraffe restaurant in the Greys Quarter section of the centre, includes access to new technologies, a 5G network from Vodafone 5GSA, and access to expertise from operator Digital Catapult’s team.
