Telecoms

Access leaders of nations, industry, business and technology

Make sure you’re where human ideas and tech capabilities come together to create smarter innovation, commercial impact and societal progress – and celebrate MWC's 20th anniversary in Barcelona!

Returning for its third year, this summit (formerly Telco as a Platform) examines how operators can unlock new commercial and ecosystem value by exposing secure, standardised and repeatable network capabilities.

Realistic models and real-life examples of delivering sovereignty in telecoms and technology amid a new of era geo-political and technological disruptions.

In Brief

Geopolitical changes have made tech and data sovereignty red hot.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly integrated into the services we consume and those on which enterprises rely. This will not only change how we interact with our devices and the digital world but also impact how we build radio access networks (RAN), the critical infrastructure that powers wireless services.

AI adoption is accelerating across industries, with the generative AI market projected to reach $467bn by 2030. This creates a significant opportunity for service providers to move beyond basic connectivity and monetise their value as strategic AI enablers for business and residential customers.

Digital service provider strategies for the AI era

With telecom operators having laid much of the groundwork required to evolve into modern, profitable digital service providers, it is now time to deliver that transformation.

Join the cable community  in Denver, Colorado, for the premier event shaping the future of broadband. Over three days, this event will explore cutting-edge technologies, strategies, and opportunities to future-proof cable networks and unlock new revenue streams.

techUK is hosting monthly online collaboration sessions for telecoms providers undertaking compliance activities for the Telecoms Security Act (TSA). 

These sessions create a trusted space for all PECN/PECS providers across all tiers to engage openly, share experiences, and work through challenges together. 

As communications ecosystems evolve, they are expected to span seamlessly from ultra-small edge devices to massive cloud infrastructures. With the emergence of international 6G standards, there will be a shift from simply connecting people and devices to enabling pervasive, interconnected intelligence.

Explore the future of connectivity at this event that brings together industry stakeholders, innovators, and government partners, to demonstrate the next generation of open and intelligent networks.  

This is the official closure document for the NAVIGATE project which was funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.

This is the official closure document for the REACH project which was funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.  The REACH project set out to enhance communications in areas with high footfall - so-called high density demand scenarios - with Blackpool as the key location.

This is the official closure document for the Sunderland Open Network EcosysTem (SONET) project which was funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.

This is the official closure document for the Best of British project which was funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.  The project successfully deployed cells at events like Priddy Folk Festival and Glastonbury, facing challenges with network complexity and interference.

This is the official closure document for the "Towards AI Powered and Secure Carrier-Grade Open RAN Platform" project which was funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology competition.

This is the official closure document for the SWaP+C project which forms part of the Open Network Ecosystem (ONE) Department for Science, Innovation and Technology competition. 

This online event is to inform potential participants about the SNS Project Call 2026 (SNS Call 6) and let applicants know about the funding opportunities within the R&I Work Programme 2026 of the Smart Networks and Services Joi

NPL are excited to announce registration for our Future Telecoms Infrastructure Workshop: Unlocking RIS and Metamaterials for 5G and Beyond, hosted in partnership with Anritsu.

TelecomTV’s Future of RAN summit returns for its seventh consecutive year. It examines how operators can transition from today’s fragmented mix of legacy, virtualised and cloud-native architectures toward intelligent, software-driven networks shaped by AI.

It was incredible to welcome both familiar faces and new connections from 55+ countries across 6 continents, with 500+ attendees coming together, including 300+ MNOs & MVNOs, to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and explore the future of MVNOs.

This event will bring together local authorities, telecoms providers, innovators, and public sector partners to spotlight how the West Midlands is leading the way in future telecoms innovation, fixed and mobile infrastructure deployment, and digital connectivity.

techUK’s Future Telecoms Conference marks a new cycle, coming almost one year on from the publication of the UK’s Industrial Strategy Digital and Technologies Sector Plan.
