The call for speakers for the 2025 CW Technology and Engineering Conference (CWTEC) is now open! Don’t miss your opportunity to speak to 200+ major industry players, including senior engineers, technologists, academics, and business leaders.
The conference promises to be a critical forum for navigating the complex landscape of future communication networks. With 6G often heralded as the solution to all connectivity challenges, a growing awareness of its potential limitations, as evidenced by early 3GPP standards work, casts a shadow of realism. The UK's ambitious 6G strategy, emphasising universal availability, security, resilience, trust, open networking, and spectrum sharing, faces the challenge of aligning with the evolving technical realities of 6G. CWTEC comprises four sessions:
- What does the UK need from comms in the next decade / 6G era?
What are the UK’s requirements advanced connectivity in the next decade, as both a society and economy dependent on connectivity networks and as an aspirational supply-side player? - What will 6G give us?
How are the emerging 3GPP standards measuring up to the early aspirations and UK requirements? - What other standards/technologies might help?
Beyond the 3GPP world what other developments might meet the UK’s needs and provide market entry opportunities, whether NTN , Wi-Fi, or other technologies? - How do we stitch it all together to meet our needs?
Given the diverse technology landscape, how can the UK adopt a network-of-networks approach to ensure the best of all worlds without building in excessive complexity? And how do we get there from today’s networks?
