RAN

Be a part of the 2023 story! Join global celebration of tech, uniting the most innovative thinkers and talent of tomorrow in a week-long festival!

The 2023 EuCNC & 6G Summit builds on putting together two successful conferences in the area of telecommunications: EuCNC (European Conference on Networks and Communications), supported by the European Commission, and the 6G Summit, originated from the 6G Flagship programme in Finland, one of the very first in its area. 

Join us and some 200 operator attendees in Central London on 6th-7th June 2023 for two days of invaluable, in-person networking and knowledge-sharing.

Best of British, or BoB will build high performance small cells 100 per cent designed and manufactured in the UK. The apparatus it produces will significantly reduce the cost of deploying a small network through advanced radio design.

One of the most challenging components in a mobile network site is the ‘Distributed Unit’ or DU. This performs signal processing, converting radio signals to data traffic that can then be transported by the microwave, optical and wireline networks to the core network infrastructure.

Proteus is breaking open the proprietary nature of mobile base stations by creating a flexible layer of software which interfaces directly to the radio hardware. This will allow companies, large and small, outside the handful of big vendors to develop competitive products which are quicker to market.

The project will develop ground-breaking, UK-made, scalable, cost-effective optical interface technology, to enable the dense roll out of optical fibre 5G radio access networks with open digital interfaces for interoperability and low latency.

Vodafone and Zinkworks, an Irish tech company, are developing a generative AI driven platform to churn out radio access network (RAN) applications “within weeks, not months.”

• The UK’s three MNOs spent a total of £39m in Ofcom’s mmWave spectrum auction
• VMO2 tested 5G SA on mmWave in September 2025, while Vodafone completed tests in 2024
• But the dearth of mmWave-capable devices in Europe is seen as a key bottleneck to service launches
