The Government’s 5G strategy - published at Budget 2017 - sets out the framework and steps that we will take to ensure that the UK is at the forefront of 5G.

We are taking an active, facilitating role - not least through the 5G Programme of Testbeds and Trials - focused on helping to create the best conditions for the market to develop and deploy 5G in the UK in a timely and efficient manner.
