Hello, I’m Josh Privett and I head DSIT’s Future Telecoms team. In the recently published Science and Technology Framework, telecoms was identified as one of the UK Government’s five critical technologies, and as a result, attention on this area has grown considerably, increasing its focus and expanding its ambition.

After almost 5 years of commercial service, there are hundreds of 5G networks and millions of cell sites live worldwide. To secure the next decade of 5G, and prepare for the introduction of 6G, the mobile network ecosystem is now working to develop 5G Advanced.
