Join techUK and DSIT for a workshop to discuss the plans to incorporate satellite communications as part of an upcoming Future Telecoms Vision.
Future Telecoms Vision
The breadth of technologies encompassed within the realm of 'future telecoms' is vast, ranging from advanced 5G to the cutting-edge developments of 6G, alongside the substantial benefits of convergence with other sectors such as satellite communications (satcoms). The upcoming Vision event presents a valuable opportunity to delve into these advantages, highlighting the pivotal role that satcoms play in providing ubiquitous coverage, ensuring network resilience, fostering high growth, and facilitating linkages with other governmental initiatives like Project Gigabit. Additionally, it underscores the importance of sovereign capability through engagement with major industry players.
Attendees of this event will gain insights into the key growth prospects identified within the sector, supported by compelling case studies and relevant statistics. Furthermore, discussions will revolve around the strategic levers available to both His Majesty's Government (HMG) and the sector itself, including regulatory frameworks and standardization efforts. As this event marks the launch of a publicly accessible document, it signifies a significant step towards establishing a cohesive, long-term direction for the sector. Ultimately, participation in this event is essential for stakeholders seeking to contribute to a more integrated, strategic approach within the satcoms ecosystem.
This entails reviewing the pillars set by government to identify areas requiring more detailed information, particularly focusing on the types of technologies that the UK should prioritize to enhance its satellite communication capabilities. The discussion will also encompass various aspects such as the key points we aim to emphasize, market dynamics, opportunities, strengths of the UK, and other pertinent factors.
