The UK government outlined plans to invest more than £100 million on R&D into next-generation technology including 6G, as part of an initiative in collaboration with vendors Nokia, Ericsson and Samsung.
In a statement, the UK government announced it will hand universities in York, Bristol and Surrey a share of £28 million to team with the vendors to design and build future networks including 6G as part of an overall £110 million pot.
It believes the move will add weight to the UK’s status as a leader in telecoms research and builds on a recent move by Ericsson and Samsung to set up 6G research centres in the country.
As well as the 6G push, the government will support the rollout of 5G by making it easier for companies to enter the market.
