The Government has unveiled an additional nine UK technology trials under the 5G Create<\/strong><\/a> scheme, which reflects a total investment of \u00a328.3m to help test various new 5G<\/a> based broadband and wireless technologies and use cases. The biggest winner this time around seems to be Open Radio Access Networks (OpenRAN).<\/p>\n

All of this forms part of the wider \u00a3200m 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme<\/a><\/strong>, which began in 2018 with a smaller selection of pilots but has since branched out. The first batch of trials under the new 5G<\/a> Create scheme were announced last July 2020 and attracted a total investment of \u00a330m (here<\/a>). Today’s announcement reflects the second batch of trials under that scheme.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The \u00a328m consists of \u00a315.2m from the gov and \u00a313.1m from the project partners.<\/div>\n

Overall, more than half of the projects in this round will use new OpenRAN<\/strong> technology and thus support the government’s drive toward greater diversification in the 5G<\/a> supply chain (here<\/a>). At present if a mobile operator wants to buy mobile equipment then they can often only pick from a few big suppliers (e.g. Ericsson and Nokia), while the ORAN approach could increase the number of suppliers.<\/p>\n

The way ORAN does this is by adopting a general-purpose, vendor-neutral hardware and software-defined technology approach (this specifically applies to the RAN side of things – infrastructure, masts and antennae<\/span>). Vodafone<\/a> UK have already gone big on this (here<\/a>) and other mobile operators have major trials, but it needs more suppliers.<\/p>\n

By comparison the other trials are much more varied. For example, in London O2<\/a>’s Project Vista<\/strong> will explore how 5G can provide instant, multi-angle replays via Smartphones’ during stadium events, while The Green Planet AR<\/strong> will work with Sir David Attenborough to demonstrate additional ways that 5G benefits the public by creating a new augmented reality (AR) app for mobile phones.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile a Leeds-based TV production company Candour TV will test 5G’s ability to broadcast high quality live content and transfer huge video files from a variety of remote locations, extreme terrains and weather conditions. “This capability, if proven, could see 5G becoming a standard for the film production industry in the UK<\/em>,” said the Government (DCMS).<\/p>\n

Matt Warman, UK Minister for Digital Infrastructure, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“5G is about so much more than faster mobile internet speeds so we\u2019re investing millions to help some of Britain\u2019s brightest innovators explore the huge potential of the technology to improve and enrich our lives.<\/p>\n

The projects we\u2019ve selected will demonstrate how the blistering speeds of 5G can put some rocket fuel in our economy and help businesses bounce back from the pandemic.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The full list of new trials can be found below.<\/p>\n
