Verizon's financial outlook for 2023 is today much lower than what the company's executives outlined during Verizon's analyst day almost exactly a year ago.

The switch-off will happen over the next ten years and support the roll-out of 4G and 5G networks, which offer faster and more reliable services for customers.

A major new research facility that will help the UK be a world leader in 6G technology is set to be established at the University of Sheffield.

Ericsson has expanded its indoor mobile connectivity portfolio with three new easy-to-deploy and cost-efficient solutions aimed at delivering 5G coverage, capacity and capabilities across the interior of any work or business environment – regardless of the size or complexity of the building.

• UK wireless tech company Filtronic is benefitting from its strategic partnership with Elon Musk’s SpaceX
• The British vendor has a five-year deal to supply amplifiers to SpaceX for its Starlink low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites
• SpaceX has already placed initial purchase orders for Filt

• The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has been looking at the potential use of Terahertz (THz) spectrum bands
• It is recommending that such spectrum should be made available now for ‘experimentation’ 
• The technology needed for THz transmission might be ready for the 6G era 

The UK’s telecoms market is thriving but understanding how the ecosystem is innovating can be difficult, especially considering the rapid advancements in academia.

The company is deploying the first 5G-IoT satellite constellation and has secured €200 million in contracts. 

The launch aboard a Falcon 9 rocket will take place from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. 

Building on the UK’s regional and national strengths, UKTIN’s Clusters Group exists to provide an open forum for inter-regional collaboration, sharing of best practices, insights and dissemination of learnings.

• Ericsson and Telcaria collaborate to improve the energy efficiency of 5G networks as part of the 6G DAWN research project
• The partnership focuses on optimizing private 5G networks for lower energy usage without compromising on performance

Hello, I’m Alain Mourad – I am a Senior Director at InterDigital, a more than fifty-year-old technology research and development company that provides wireless, video and AI technologies for mobile devices, networks, and services worldwide.

As you may have already seen, ITN Business are in the process of producing a digital news-style programme, Digital Britain: Connecting the Nation, in partnership with the UK Telecoms Innovation Network (UKTIN), Tech UK, and Mobile UK.

Ericsson and Nokia are reportedly expanding their in-house chip design capabilities to better compete in the 5G era.

Nokia is working with NASA to deploy an 4G/LTE network on the Moon in order to demonstrate how advanced cellular technologies can be used for critical communications in future planetary exploration. Planned for 2024, the uncrewed, robotic mission will help pave the way to a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface.

In the Autumn Statement 2023, the government announced funding for a series of regulatory sandboxes. As part of this announcement, the government outlined investment to support research into enhanced spectrum sharing in the UK.
