The UK's 5G Showcase 2022 - Showcasing the Future of 5G in Real-Life

The recent UK’s 5G Showcase event in Birmingham brought together more than 50 projects and 200 organisations in a celebration of achievements and lessons learned.

The UK’s 5G Showcase was hosted by UK5G, and supported by CW, KTN and TM Forum. Over 600 attendees learnt about how 5G can be harnessed to unlock benefits, ranging from supporting people to stay longer in their homes to driving productivity and reducing waste.

On the diversification side, a number of technical projects are pushing the boundaries of Open RAN architectures, developing testing capabilities across multiple modules, and exploring the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The inaugural event recognised and celebrated all that has been achieved over the past months and years of project collaboration, but also explored the lessons that have been learned. Key takeaways include looking at how those lessons could be carried across to activities outside the Testbeds and Trials Programme, identifying investment opportunities and reaching a consensus on how to take the UK from 5G innovation to early market adoption.
