Telecoms R&D Future Capability Strategic Leadership Forum

At Connected Places Catapult we connect people, places and businesses for a future of sustainable growth and prosperity.

About the webinar series:

Does your product need to interwork with someone else’s product to be useful? That interworking is very likely the subject of a standard, maybe a current standard, or maybe one that has yet to be written.

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.

As part of UKTIN’s work to support SMEs looking to innovate within the supply chain, this document has been created to educate SMEs on mobile standards. This report will include news of major developments of the key mobile standards, plus news on patent, patent trolls and IP infringement. 

In the dynamic landscape of communication technology, the convergence of open source software, standardization, and cutting-edge research stands as a cornerstone for building resilient and sustainable networks.

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 report aims to provide background information on standards activities in the UK and worldwide, as well as consider aspects where actions could be taken to improve the general influence of the UK and its industrial and academic sector, with particular emphasis on SMEs.

Join us for an exclusive webinar tailored for the telecommunications industry: "Strategic IP Investment for Telecom Start-Ups: from Seed to Success".  

The telecoms industry forms a vital part of the UK’s society and economy. It connects the country and provides the basic infrastructure on which we build all elements of our digital lives, both social and economic. 

Our interconnected telecoms industry will only thrive with standards at its core

Andy Reid, Standards Champion, UKTIN

The UK Telecoms Innovation Network (UKTIN) NTN working group, comprising of industrial and academic experts have worked during 2023 to analyse gaps and strengths in the UK NTN ecosystem and to make initial recommendations to Government, academia and industry aimed at ensuring that the UK has a strong role in this key area. 

Innovators. Investors. Tech giants. The visionaries applying new tech to solve the world’s biggest problems. Enterprise tech leaders who are creating solutions to enrich every aspect of our lives.

They all come to London Tech Week to see where tech will take them next.

A series of Future Capability Papers, authored by the UKTIN Expert Working Groups, are being published over the coming months, with the first paper - Wireless Networking - launched today.

Wireless technology has revolutionised society, providing unparalleled mobility through devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart home gadgets. The Internet of Things (IoT) has further connected billions of devices, fostering a world of interconnectivity and automation across various sectors.

This face-to-face event will offer attendees the unique opportunity to come together and exchange with experts, network with peers, and visit the dedicated project posters all focussing on the topic of Non-Terrestrial Networks for beyond 5G.

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.

Standards are an essential part of the telecoms ecosystem, but finding the time and budget to understand and engage with the myriad standards bodies and their processes is tough. 

The UKTIN Standards Working Group is designed to support SMEs in more effectively interacting with the standards process and having their IP adopted.
