Spectrum

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.

Companies increased downlink speeds over 20% by using the latest 1024 QAM technology

DSIT are pleased to announce the three winners of the Spectrum Sandbox competition. Each Sandbox project will test sharing of spectrum in Ofcom licensed Sandbox environments to indicate how regulation could be improved to maximise the use of this scarce resource and the benefits to the economy.

Various efforts in the US from both sides of the political aisle to free up more mobile spectrum have gone down well in some quarters, but not so well in others.

Brazil’s National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) has announced a regulatory sandbox designed to support trials for direct to device satellite connectivity.

New bill requires at least 1,250 megahertz of spectrum between 1.3-13.2 GHz be auctioned for full-power, licensed commercial use

• Quantum dots tuned to C-Band telecoms frequencies will be compatible with existing fibre-optic telecoms networks
• This offers enormous potential for global quantum telecoms networks and the quantum internet of the future 
• Tiny semiconductor particles can, according to their size, emit

More capacity for Wi-Fi and mobile internet users could be made available in the upper 6 GHz spectrum band, under a new approach being explored by Ofcom.
