UKTIN is looking forward to attending next week’s MWC, you can find us in the UK Innovation Pavilion in Hall 7, stand 7B31.
As well as the chance to meet with our Supplier Specialist Guidance Service team and representatives from UKTIN Talent and Clusters, we’ll be demonstrating our R&D Discovery Toolkit, which allows anyone to discover UK telecom research and development effortlessly through an AI-driven search tool, featuring dynamic visualisation and a chat assistant for deep insights and tailored queries.
The UK Innovation Pavilion is new for 2025 and we’re proud to be exhibiting alongside a number of DSIT funded projects and programmes. Here’s a quick rundown of who else you can expect to find in the pavilion and what they’ll have available on their stands.
REASON
- REASON is developing a roadmap for open 6G network architectures, which have set the framework for new developments across the entire technology stack.
- The project has provided novel solutions to effectively integrate multi-technology access networks and to advance their performance in line with the emerging 6G key performance indicators.
- At MWC, they’ll be demonstrating how a 6G Network using multiple access technologies (WIFI, LIFI and 5G) can provide high bandwidth to connect to 36 cameras to create a 3D hologram on a 3D looking glass.
YO-RAN
- YO-RAN is developing O-RAN technologies for the telecoms industry, especially neutral host networks. They are working to make mobile internet faster, more energy efficient and open to new providers
- At MWC they will showcase O-RAN technologies in real-world 5G and 6G use cases, including: a cell-free MIMO demonstrator, real-time closed loop control of a CNC machine, a mmWave communications system
TUDOR
- TUDOR is focused on secure, resilient, reliable and meaningful coverage, and paving the way for new "6G" technologies and capabilities, with the primary instrument for delivering these goals being a single integrated 3D network.
- The new "6G" capabilities they are considering are AI, Integrated Sensing and Communications, and Semantic Communications, meaning that they are designing their 3D network architecture to support these as well as the other goals.
- At MWC, they’ll be demonstrating:
- Semantic communications for robust immersive telepresence performance
- AI-driven Autoscaling in Network Operations Centre
- Spectrum sensing in Open 3D networks
- Transforming O-RAN Signal Processing (in conjunction with DSIT ONE project HiPer-RAN)
- As well as running video demos of various other TUDOR results and achievements.
The Federated Telecoms Hubs (FTH)
- FTH is a university-led nationwide hub. As one of Europe’s largest research consortiums, it is focused on catalysing telecoms innovation.
- FTH encompasses four collaborative hubs across the telecoms ecosystem:
- CHEDDAR – Researching 6G technologies that support edge-fog-cloud continuum of computation – led by Imperial College London
- HASC – Focusing on how to combine wired and wireless internet technologies to achieve end-to-end connectivity – led by University of Oxford
- TITAN – Focusing on emerging seamless, intelligent and resilient Network of Networks (NoN) solutions and technologies – led by University of Cambridge
- JOINER – A national experimentation platform to accelerate 6G and future network research – led by Bristol University
- At MWC, they will be demonstrating:
- Harnessing Solar Comms Synergy: Experience the potential of solar panels to harvest energy and receive optical data simultaneously, enabling connectivity and power in even the most remote locations.
- Real-Time RF Human Activity Recognition and Robotic Mimicry over 6G: A demonstration showcasing how radar technology can detect and track human movement and posture, relaying actions to a robot over 6G for real-time replication.
- Dynamic Spectrum Mastery: Explore how advanced digital twin simulations and machine learning enable dynamic spectrum sharing and traffic optimisation to meet future network demands.
- Designing the future of connectivity through world-class research, discovery & innovation: Gain access to the world's most cutting-edge research in the field of all-spectrum connectivity, telecoms technology and the UK’s developing communications infrastructure.
Digital Catapult & SONIC Labs
- Digital Catapult helps businesses to grow by applying deep tech. You can visit the Digital Catapult stand at MWC to discover more about how the organisation:
- supports open network development in the UK through experimentation, testing and validation
- can work with you to help accelerate the development of your Open RAN products.
- Additionally you will also be able to experience an immersive lab tour - be transported to Digital Catapult’s state-of-the-art open network testing facilities and discover all you need to know about open networks through a VR experience
Please do stop by – we’ll be running regular tours throughout the week, meet at the UK Innovation Pavilion refreshment area:
11am & 3pm Monday 3rd March
10am & 2pm Tuesday 4th March
2pm Wednesday 5th March
