Are you eager to gain insights into the complexity of telecoms and connectivity investments in the UK? Here's your chance to stay ahead of the curve.

UKTIN is due to unveil a report that dissects the investment trends shaping the future of the telecoms industry. Supported by PitchBook, we're conducting a thorough analysis to unravel the complexities of venture capital in the telecoms market.

• Nokia collaborates with Siemens Mobility to provide state-of-the-art IP/MPLS backbone communications network and Nokia NetGuard Cybersecurity solution for the new Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport line.
• Will support highly secure mission-critical applications and passenger services across the 23-kilometer new railway connecting to six stations at St Marys, Orchard Hills, Luddenham, Airport Business Park, Airport Terminal and the new Aerotropolis, 12 new metro trains, core rail system, service facility at Claremont Meadows and Bringelly.

Companies increase the scope of the established collaboration with University of Málaga

Vodafone today announced an extension of its work with Intel on optimising advanced algorithms for use in Open Radio Access Networks (RAN) platforms. These will deliver the highest possible level of performance for customers, while reducing energy consumption.

Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan has secured a further agreement with telecoms companies to protect vulnerable customers as landlines are upgraded.

Companies in charge of maintaining the UK’s internet and phone infrastructure have today agreed to new measures to protect vulnerable customers as their landlines are upgraded to a new digital network.

The UKTIN Expert Working Groups bring together academic and industry leaders and experts, governmental and regulatory specialists, and representative bodies to explore the opportunities, gaps and challenges in the UK telecoms ecosystem. Bringing to bear their collective expertise, the groups aim to identify where the UK can lead and how the UK ecosystem as a whole can benefit from various opportunities.

BARCELONA – In a ground-breaking development, Rakuten Symphony is proud to announce the successful implementation and testing of its innovative eBPF technology within the fully virtualized radio access network of Rakuten Mobile. This is a major leap in network management and performance monitoring solutions, addressing critical pain points faced by the industry.

London, UK – Boldyn Networks (Boldyn) today announced the close of its acquisition of Cellnex's private networks business unit. This largely includes Edzcom, a Finnish pioneer and European market leader that designs, builds, and operates private 4G and 5G networks across enterprise customers in the manufacturing, transport hubs, oil and gas, energy generation, and mining industries.

EPSRC and DSIT have funded three future Telecoms Hubs and provided additional resources to bring them together in a federated structure, which will help deliver the six core areas identified in the Wireless Infrastructure Strategy. This structure brings together three existent EPSRC funded future telecoms platforms with new connecting infrastructure (JOINER).

The three new Telecoms Hubs are:

• Quantum dots tuned to C-Band telecoms frequencies will be compatible with existing fibre-optic telecoms networks
• This offers enormous potential for global quantum telecoms networks and the quantum internet of the future 
• Tiny semiconductor particles can, according to their size, emit any colour of light 
• Indistinguishable photons to enable scalable schemes of quantum comms

At some point, maybe in 10 years or so but more likely within a generation, quantum telecoms and the q

Very low Earth orbit birds could sip the outer atmosphere on their way up.

Electric propulsion systems that generate power from the scant air in the outer edges of the atmosphere could drive satellites in very low Earth orbit (VLEO), without the need for conventional propellants – at least in theory.

Armed with $400,000 in funding from DARPA, boffins at the US Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and academics at the George Washington University (GWU) are building prototypes for the technology.
