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.
This is the UK’s first RIS-focused event, showcasing NPL’s patented Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) technology successfully trialled on a live 5G base station at BT’s Adastral Park. Developed at NPL, this breakthrough innovation demonstrates powerful signal control capabilities, delivering a scalable, energy-efficient solution to enhance 5G and enable future 6G networks.
The telecoms industry is at a critical inflection point. As networks evolve to meet the demands of ultra-fast connectivity, low latency, and energy efficiency, RIS and metamaterials are emerging as game-changing technologies. This workshop is your chance to get ahead of the curve, gain first-hand insights from leading experts, and see live demonstrations of innovations that will define the next decade of wireless infrastructure.
Why Attend?
- Exclusive first look at NPL’s RIS technology
- Live demonstrations and expert insights on metamaterials from BT, VM02, other industrial and academic leaders too.
- Shape the conversation on future wireless infrastructure with Ofcom, DSIT and ESA.
If you want to influence the future of 5G and prepare for 6G, this is the event you cannot afford to miss.
