Telecoms

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.

Electromagnetic radiation concerns in 5G NR 5G and the associated new technologies such as beamforming and frequencies above 3 GHz have raised a large number of discussions among the population.

Many people are unaware of the benefits of 5G or misunderstand what it is. This is often because the information publicly available about 5G uses technical jargon, which makes it difficult to understand and explain to others.
