UK INNOVATION IS AT AN EXCITING JUNCTURE
Ian Smith, Head of UKTIN

Connectivity has, and always will, underpin societal and economic growth. Fortunately, the UK telecoms sector is 
rife with innovation and potential.

Join us for the UK SPF Cluster 3 event, which will showcase interim findings from the three DSIT Spectrum Sandbox projects.

Birmingham Tech Week is the UK’s largest regional tech festival and conference with over 7,500 people attending. Events will be taking place across the entire West Midlands covering a variety of important and innovative topics.

The Accelerating RAN Intelligence in 5G (ARI-5G) Consortium, led by Telecom Infra Project (TIP) and in collaboration with Accelleran, Amdocs, Attocore, British Telecom (BT) and VIAVI Solutions, has successfully deployed, evaluated, and showcased four spectrum and energy management x/rApps use cases on a standards-based RIC platform. 

The IEEE 6G Summit 2024 will be taking place at the University of Leeds on 25th of July. 

Come join the second STC quarterly meeting of 2024 on Thursday 19 June 2024 at techUK's London office. 

Cambridge Tech Week brings together world-leading experts, innovators and investors to fuel growth across the tech ecosystem, establishing Cambridge as a key place where global tech comes to meet.

Join us at this landmark event to shape the future of wireless communication, drive economic growth, and forge international partnerships that will define the next era of global connectivity.

Connected Britain is the UK’s most important digital economy event, bringing together stakeholders from across the connectivity ecosystem. 

EPSRC and DSIT have funded three future Telecoms Hubs and provided additional resources to bring them together in a federated structure, which will help deliver the six core areas identified in the Wireless Infrastructure Strategy.

On Monday 18 December, techUK will host an interactive and participative workshop on the planned spectrum sandbox projects. This will be a virtual event only and is open to all. To attend the event please click the registration button.

Unlike the move from 3G to 4G, the transition to 5G has been fairly seamless. It is expected that 5G coverage will have reached 60 per cent of the world’s population by 2026, making it the fastest ever mobile network deployment.

Leading UK engineers and technologists have found 5G to be just as safe as 4G, 3G and Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), quashing misinformation and conspiracy theories that surround the latest mobile technology.

The role of the Radiocommunication Sector is to ensure the rational, equitable, efficient and economical use of the radio- frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services.

Not so long ago, the term used to describe how spectrum was divvied up was “beauty contest.” However, things have moved on since the days of pageantry. 

Vodafone, Qualcomm and Ericsson say they have successfully demonstrated the benefits of 5G mmWave via two trials in the UK.

The trials used Ericsson’s AIR (antenna-integrated radio) 5322 and Baseband 6651 technology, as well as various devices powered by the Snapdragon X65 5G Modem-RF System.
