Fixed Wireless Access

Briefing presentation for a competition for local authorities across the UK to establish themselves as ‘5G Innovation Regions’ (5GIRs) to drive 5G adoption, with a focus on key sectors where there is local capability and opportunities.

The following information is the High Level Summary Report (October 2022) on the outcomes and findings from the West Mercia Rural 5G Project.

About the Event

The UK Wireless Infrastructure Strategy was released in April this year and generally has been warmly received as a well thought-through document with some challenging ambitions.

3D-printed radio antennas that could help bring stronger mobile phone signals and faster internet connections to people living in remote communities have been developed by researchers at the University of Sheffield.

New research from CCS Insight sheds light on the fixed wireless access market, an emerging but crucial technology for mobile network operators. The technology helps to expand network coverage, bridging connectivity gaps in rural or semi-rural areas where laying fibre infrastructure is challenging.

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.
