Introduction

In this 1-day short course we present the key know-how and operational information on Private 5G Networks, considering key topics from radio frequency spectrum to radio units (RU), from user equipment to use cases, and from 5G core to the cloud and the edge.

The 5G Techritory platform is an initiative to bring together the key players in 5G development with the goal of developing a robust and aligned 5G Ecosystem in Europe and beyond.

This will be an event exclusively for our members and supporters to attend in the Terrace Pavilion at the House of Commons.

There’s a lot more to fifth-generation networks (5G) than the ability to download movies in a blink of an eye or shuttle gigabytes to and from your smartphone faster. The technology will spawn an intelligent ecosystem of connected devices, harvesting massive amounts of data that will change the way we live and work.

WISDM software – owned and developed by Mobile Access North Yorkshire partners Wireless Coverage – has been benefiting the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) project by identifying the best locations for masts to give the

Many people are unaware of the benefits of 5G or misunderstand what it is. This is often because the information publicly available about 5G uses technical jargon, which makes it difficult to understand and explain to others.

A simple guide to mobile telecoms masts

Covering everything that local authorities, consumers and citizens may want to know about mobile telecoms masts: what they are for, the different types of masts, their component parts and why we need them
