Telecoms

This year's conference will explore the convergence of space, airborne, terrestrial and marine technologies to deliver the next evolution of wireless connectivity, unlocking new possibilities for applications and services.

The 7th and last issue of the European 5G Annual Journal was released in May 2023.

UKTIN is announcing a new series of Investor Breakfasts with the aim of showcasing exceptional UK telecoms talent from across the sector and highlighting the benefits of investing in the UK’s telecoms infrastructure and the broad range of companies and technologies operating within it. 

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) recently published the 5G Testbeds and Trials (5GTT) Programme interim evaluation.

This is a special digital event focusing on the role of telecoms in combatting climate change.

At the recent DCIA Dissemination Event, Gareth Elliot, Mobile UK hosted a panel with representatives from all four of the UK’s mobile network operators, testament to their commitment and willingness to forge successful partnerships with local authorities.

Offering a rare opportunity to pull together representatives from different departments, agencies and teams, Nick Wiggin hosted a cross-government panel at the recent DCIA dissemination event.

During this second DCIA dissemination event, attendees were able to hear updates from all eight of the digital asset management pilots, with clear progress having been made on all sides since the last event in June.

Whereas the June event had focused primarily on the digital asset management pilots, this time round, attendees were able to also hear more about the remit - and significant progress - being made across the other three workstreams.

The third DCIA dissemination event took place in December and, following September’s virtual event, was back in the real world. GSMA’s London office, with its stunning views over Kings Cross, London, was the venue for the hundred or so attendees from across local government and industry attending the event.

The driving force behind developing opportunities for 5G in Scotland

The role of the Scotland

Unlike the move from 3G to 4G, the transition to 5G has been fairly seamless. It is expected that 5G coverage will have reached 60 per cent of the world’s population by 2026, making it the fastest ever mobile network deployment.

Farming and rural healthcare are amongst the sectors set to benefit
