Telecoms

In November 2023, the Department for International Trade will be leading a trade delegation of some of the UK's most exciting technology companies to Bengaluru (Bangalore) Tech Summit.

As UKTIN extends its innovation agenda to include a working group for telecoms standards, a call for members to apply to join and/or chair the standards leadership group opens today. 

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. 

As more UK local authority areas are awarded Gigabit infrastructure contracts, we pose the challenge - what's next?

Imagine a future where the UK is a global leader for innovation in future telecoms technologies.

Hi, I’m Tom Rumbelow and I lead the Open RAN policy team in the Telecoms Diversification Unit at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
