Is the road to RIO via a Sandbox?

Paving the way for Regulatory Innovation in the Wireless Connectivity Sector and beyond  The establishment of the Regulatory Innovation Office (RIO) by the UK Government marks a significant step towards advancing innovation and economic growth in key technology sectors. Among the various initiatives predating the establishment of RIO which support similar goals, spectrum sandboxes andContinue reading “Is the road to RIO via a Sandbox?”

How to sort poor passenger connectivity on trains

John Okas, CCO at Real Wireless, shares his thoughts and insights on the discussions at this year’s Connected Britain 2024 on rail connectivity.  I only attended the first day of Connected Britain – which meant I didn’t hear the speech by the new Minister for Data Protection and Telecoms Sir Chris Bryant which was onContinue reading “How to sort poor passenger connectivity on trains”

How will LEO satellites change wireless business models?

Commercial satellite constellation projects have come a very long way since the early versions of Iridium and Globalstar, not to mention Teledesic, ICO and others, all of which were held back or undermined by technical or financial issues.  Firstly, setup costs have plummeted, which is not too surprising given that more than a quarter ofContinue reading “How will LEO satellites change wireless business models?”

Taylor Swift, mobile data records and the role of Real Wireless

Even if you don’t own or have never listened to her musical output, you are probably aware that Taylor Swift’s world tour is doing fairly well.   That’s a major understatement.   The Eras Tour, as it is called, is the world’s first billion-dollar tour, the highest-grossing concert of all time, and has smashed at least eightContinue reading “Taylor Swift, mobile data records and the role of Real Wireless”

The future telecoms research cluster has been constructed – now the work really begins

This month, the University of Sheffield launched its National 6G Radio Systems Facility providing an R&D facility for empirical research and testing of both current and future radio systems. Real Wireless attended the launch event and was thanked by the facility leader, Professor Tim O’Farrell, for supporting the establishment of the centre. Now seems likeContinue reading “The future telecoms research cluster has been constructed – now the work really begins”

Spectrum sharing: the way ahead for wireless

A spectrum-sharing sandbox project may seem like an esoteric concept. It isn’t.  Without the efficient use of spectrum, the great promise of wireless in the years to come – extraordinary technical innovation and accelerated economic growth – could remain unfulfilled.  In fact, when the spectrum is in the upper 6GHz and upper n77 bands it’sContinue reading “Spectrum sharing: the way ahead for wireless”

Connecting the unconnected: bridging the digital divide

The telecommunications industry is rapidly expanding driving growth in various other sectors.
