Join the UK SPF Cluster 1 for an exclusive event dedicated to examining the evolving landscape of indoor connectivity and its future demand. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the need for robust and reliable indoor networks is more crucial than ever before for both consumers and enterprises.

This imperative need for indoor connectivity has been recognised by DSIT Wireless Infrastructure Strategy. The document notes that some of this connectivity needs will need to be provided over the national public mobile networks; while in other case and environments, may be better delivered over WiFi or bespoke private networks. 

The increased demand for spectrum from wideband data system community, as well as other sectors, for indoor use is putting a strain on the available spectrum resources. As the number of internet-enabled devices grows and applications become more data-intensive, the competition for spectrum resources intensifies, necessitating a strategic approach to spectrum allocation and management to ensure seamless interoperability and optimal performance across various technologies.

The workshop deep dive into the holistic approach needed to address the future demands of indoor connectivity.
