As part of the Belfast 5G Innovation Region programme, Belfast City Council has launched a 5G funding competition with grants of up to £100,000 available to support local businesses and industries to harness the power of 5G and digital technologies to deliv

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.

The HiPer-RAN project (“Highly Intelligent, Highly Performing RAN”) set out to develop an open, flexible platform capable of hosting diverse software-based intelligence across the entire Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture, from higher-layer orchestration down to the physical layer.

The Cambridgeshire OpenRAN Ecosystem (CORE) Project deployed and tested a high-performance 5G Standalone OpenRAN network optimised for High Demand Density (HDD) environments. These are urban settings with large numbers of simultaneous users where traditional networks often underperform.

Project aims:

The ONE WORD programme brought together four local authorities to build 5G infrastructure, supported by industry project participants.

The purpose of this webinar is to share current Horizon collaborative opportunities in the UK for advanced communications.

Join techUK on Tuesday 16 September, 10:00-12:00 for an in-person event exploring how we use AI assurance to support safer and responsible adoption AI, as well as a discussion on how AI itself is changing the cyber security sector. 

Executive Summary

Executive summary

The Dorset Open Networks Ecosystem (DONE) project undertook R&D across two strands of Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) enablement - RAN intelligent controller (RIC) applications plus processors and RAN/Radio Frequency (RF) hardware.

The ambitious Liverpool City Region HDD Project aimed to assess how OpenRAN deployments can be secure by design with complex supply chains and changing configurations; demonstrate automated provisioning, monitoring and deployment lifecycle management; extend the RIC framework for multi-RAT aggregation, incorporating Wi-Fi and deliver an innovati

techUK is convening regular industry collab sessions for providers undertaking compliance activity for the Telecoms Security Act. These online sessions will take place monthly and are open to all PECN/PECS providers (all Tiers) to come together in an open, transparent, and collaborative way.  

Join us alongside leaders from across the semiconductor sector—from policymakers to industry innovators—to shape what a future National Semiconductor Centre could entail, and connect directly with key stakeholders driving its development. 

This session compares real-world attack patterns against current federal guidance to uncover a critical insight: APT groups continue to succeed—not because defenders lack standards, but because those standards don’t address the attackers’ preferred path.

This workshop is designed to provide a clear overview of our state-of-the-art JOINER and SONIC Labs facilities, outlining the capabilities users can leverage to support product development, and then mapping the types of potential users, the industries they sell to, and unique user requirements.

Please save the date for the Smart and Connected Social Places Showcase Event on 28 October 2025, from 9am - 4pm.

Opening speaker: Councillor Susan Aitken
