Major Government-funded project to make UK telecommunications ‘fit for the future’
13 January 2023
The research will find solutions to improving the sustainability and energy efficiency of mobile networks.
The £12 million international project, funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and led by the 5/6G Innovation Centre at the University of Surrey, aims to develop technology fit for the future, including beyond 5G and 6G, ensuring UK telecommunications is more secure, greener and accessible in reaching all areas of the UK.
The project ‘TUDOR’ (Towards Ubiquitous 3D Open Resilient Network) will investigate how AI-driven technologies could be used in 5G, 6G and beyond, to ensure seamless interoperability across diverse networks including terrestrial, airborne and satellites.
Professor Elmirghani and Dr Elgorashi from the Department of Engineering at King's College London, who specialise in the energy efficiency of communication networks, will be working to ensure the new technologies developed are sustainable and can be rolled out and standardised worldwide.
Professor Elmirghani and Dr Elgorashi said: “We are pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with the world-leading organisations from academia and the industry in the TUDOR consortium. This ambitious project will help ensure the UK retains its leading role in telecommunications innovation beyond 5G and 6G networks.”
