5G Testbuds and Trials: Programme Strategy and Structure
- 1. 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme Strategy and Structure 1
- 2. What’s driving the DCMS programme? Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport: “The Programme will stimulate Trials from many different future 5G users, learning lessons and driving productivity… and fund projects that address deployment and technical challenges.” Improving coverage Industry evolving UK Digital opportunity Ministerial drive 85% of premises now have mobile data coverage indoors, up from 80% in 2016
- 3. ● Government announced its 5G plans as part of a £1 billion package to boost the UK’s digital infrastructure. ● Government released its 5G strategy. ● Programme’s initial investment announced £16m for leading UK research institutions to cooperate on a new 5G capability. ● £25 million for Phase 1 competition funding during 2018/19 ● A further £160 million for the next phase of funding to test 5G applications and deployment on roads and security of 5G networks plus a major project on the Trans Pennine rail route. ● Government committed to ensure the UK has the digital infrastructure it needs to facilitate 5G. ● The Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review was announced. ○ This will explore policy and regulatory interventions for the UK to reach its long-term objectives of 5G coverage.

Editor's Notes
- 5G is DIFFERENT - previous generations incrementally increased reliability, speed and capacity of mobile networks. 5G is not simply a new radio standard but should be thought of as the opportunity to deliver consistent high-quality broadband connectivity to users and machines wherever they are using and integrating a range of new and existing technology. Nobody yet knows which applications or which technology capabilities will be economically productive or yield big changes for society, so research and trials are needed to explore and prioritise investment going forward. The global mobile industry vision for 5G is ambitious and is expected to evolve over the next 10 years at least. Current mobile and fixed networks [2G, 3G, 4G, WiFi, Fibre, LoRaWAN, etc etc] supplied by private and public sector organisations provides a high quality digital communications framework with a great deal of inherent and Over The Top (OTT) functionality and content. There are many 'not-spots' from an end-user perspective where users [machine and human] cannot connect effectively & efficiently to the functionality or content they require. According to London & Partners, the UK is Europe’s leading tech hub and continues to be the leading destination in Europe for inward investment into the digital sector, attracting £6.7 billion in 2016, 50% higher than any other European country. See the infographic (above right) from Tech Nation 2016 which demonstrates the importance of the Digital Economy in the UK. Government leadership, guidance and investment is necessary to ensure that this evolution in communications technology and application is pervasive, secure and positive for all citizens and stakeholders.
- It is clear that government is fully committed to driving the agenda for 5G within the context of a world class digital infrastructure, an open digital marketplace and is investing to support the industrial strategy. Recommendations from the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC), and advice from a range of interested parties and industry players, including the Future Communications Challenge Group formed the basis of the government’s approach to driving 5G forward.
- Our programme has been set up with clear objectives (a mission) that challenge us to establish the UK as a leading player in the global 5G market to cultivate a vibrant and effective ecosystem that helps providers and customers understand how to get the best out of 5G Accelerate deployment of production networks Maximise productivity Create new business opportunity and revenues for UK businesses We also have a vision that should tie us closely to what citizens and businesses operating in the UK will firmly support. A lot of public sentiment in social media suggests that the public does not yet understand that 5G embraces and unifies many areas of technology, but also that it is also about integrating existing and new technologies to deliver ubiquitous connectivity to support everyone’s daily life better than ever before. Successful delivery depend on bringing together use cases inside and outside buildings, in sparse and crowded spaces, in fixed and mobile environments. It will integrate thinking end-to-end and truly consider user experience throughout. It should change the economics of the industry and invate many more players to take part, new innovative players alongside established global companies.
- This picture explains how the 5GTT programme is structured to deliver on the vision for near-ubiquitous Connectivity. Our landscape is laid out to reflect the needs to deliver improvements on two major axes: growing Connectivity, and enhancing Functionality. These are not seen as sequential or dependent in any way, more that to succeed we must deliver both. Connectivity needs to grow nationally, covering multiple vertical market sectors. The 5GTT programme must deliver solutions to technical/functional, regulatory/market and business challenges. In other words, we could incubate an amazing 5G technical gadget, but if there isn’t a commercial business case to deploy it, then it is irrelevant. Vertical Market sectors will form the target environments we will target for investment in projects - e.g Smart City, Health & Social Care, Transport, Media and Entertainment and others are candidates for focus. Note that the projects on the slide are currently populated with some ideas, but please don’t read anything into the labels as the Phase 1 competition is still in adjudication so we’ll update the slide once the winners are announced. Three initial 5G Test Networks have been funded (£16m) at Surrey, Bristol and Kings to act as test beds for 5G trial projects and demonstrations. All three have vibrant and exciting programmes using the test network kit and are also collaborating strongly with each other, with the MNOs and with vendors in the creation of a connected 5G Network (using the JANET research and academic network for backhaul) to enable much bigger use cases to be trialled at scale. We look forward to seeing much more of that going forward. As we move towards larger pre-production trials then it will be necessary to engage with the mobile network operators who hold the spectrum and operations required to test at scale
- Key projects: £35m Trans Pennine digital railway trial including mmwave technologies £5m Digital motorway trial IoT deployment that supports a variety of verticals at scale (x 1 'smart city' & x 1 'smart rural' only to ensure focus and impact). Developing a platform on which multiple local services/verticals can operate - many of which from public sector like health/social care etc - to generate the demand. Narrowband IoT is the first step on the path to 5G. £10m security project 2. In parallel, create the conditions in 2018 & 2019 so UK can be an early-mover in 5G services from 2020 once the standards agreed and hand-sets widely available. Key questions - 1) what conditions are necessary to incentivise the MNOs at scale? 2) How do we foster a wider 5G ecosystem in UK, working with 5G Innovation Network? This is about using the 5G Programme to pump-prime, lower costs by doing and build the use/demand case.
- Our communications industry is global, with thousands of companies, millions of people and generates around $1.3tn of revenue annually. In the UK we have made major contributions to the evolution and growth of this industry, and many of you here have played a significant role in that. Our 5G Testbeds and Trials programme is here to work hard with players across this landscape to enable the UK to imagine a fully connected future, and to maximise the benefits of the many connected applications 5G promises to bring.
