Communications Infrastructure and Services

techUK brings together government, the regulator, telecom companies and its stakeholders to help the UK maximise the benefits of adopting advanced communications services, maintain confidence in the security and resilience of our networks, and explore future telecoms. We do so to lower the cost to the sector of deployment, spur innovation and unlock value for all parties in connectivity. This is delivered through a mix of thought leadership, multilateral engagement and ecosystem building.

Get involved

All techUK's work is led by our members - keep in touch or get involved by joining one of the groups below.

Communications Infrastructure and Services Group

techUK brings together our telecoms members with government, regulators and the wider tech ecosystem to explore the challenges and opportunities facing connectivity today. Our work centres around the rollout of infrastructure, the security and resilience of networks, and the potential of future telecoms, including the adoption of advanced communications services by key economic sectors.

Telecoms Security and Diversification Working Group

techUK’s Telecoms Security and Diversification Working Group brings members from our telecoms network operators, equipment vendors, system, and cyber security companies together to help formulate how industry should respond to the Government’s Telecoms Security activity. Covering both fixed and wireless infrastructure, the working group explores topics such as the 5G core, complexity, regulation, security, resilience and risk management and private networks to determine industry best practice.

Telecoms Infrastructure Working Group

The home of telecoms infrastructure deployment at techUK, covering fixed and mobile infrastructure. The Group focuses on the deployment of fibre and radio, including 5G, networks through engagement and collaboration with local authorities.

Satellite Telecommunications Committee

The STC meets quarterly to consider matters related to satellite telecoms from R&D, including the European ARTES programme, to services and applications including the provision and marketing of satellite broadband, satellite IOT, and broadcast.

Positioning, Navigation and Timing Committee

The Positioning, Navigation and Timing Committee (PNTC) looks at the technology, regulatory and policy issues, development and investment opportunities, and applications and services of satellite-based location technology.

Advanced Communications Working Group

Formerly called the 5G Ecosystem, this group explores how advanced communication services benefit sectors like manufacturing, transport, health, media, and agriculture. We focus on user needs, avoiding tech bias in telecom solutions.

Satellite Applications and Services Group

The Satellite Applications and Services Group helps member companies maximise their business potential, reach new areas and markets, identify and resolve issues that may arise as a result of change in government, policies, regulations, technology and even consumer demand and behaviour.
