The funding comes from the previously allocated \u00a3740m in the new <strong>National Productivity Investment Fund<\/strong> (NPIF), which is being spent on both the development of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> and on pushing &#8220;<em>full fibre<\/em>&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>\/P) broadband networks into more areas.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently the Universities will aim to collaborate on the creation of 3 &#8220;<em>small-scale mobile networks<\/em>&#8220;, which together will form the test network. Each network will have a number of the elements expected in a commercial 5G network, such as mobile signal receivers, transmitters and the technology to handle 5G signals. The end-to-end 5G trial is expected to begin during <strong>early 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We wouldn&#8217;t be at all surprised if this also linked into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arqiva.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arqiva<\/a> and Samsung&#8217;s joint March 2018 5G trial in London (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/07\/arqiva-bag-5g-mobile-spectrum-luminet-ultrafast-london-broadband.html\">here<\/a>), which will use the 28GHz radio spectrum band (possibly some other bands too) in order to setup a 500Mbps+ capable Fixed Wireless Broadband network.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Matt Hancock, Minister for Digital, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to be at the head of the field in 5G.
