The UK’s fixed-line broadband sector is seeing the steady decline in DSL due to the ongoing efforts of operators to expand the reach of fibre networks. This is being supported by government efforts to encourage the right economic environment facilitating the ambition to have a fully-fibred UK by 2033. The fixed-line voice segment is being similarly repositioned, with PSTN services making way for IP-delivered content. BT’s independent wholesale unit Openreach plans to complete the switch to fibre by 2025. As part of its continued support the UK government has pledged additional funding for 5G testbeds and use cases. Projects assessing 5G applicatios in rural areas, use of 5G in tourism and applications for economically disadvantaged areas and the health sector have benefited. The UK mobile market is one of the largest in Europe and is fiercely competitive with all MNOs launching 5G services and progressively expanding them over the last year. Developments in 5G will also result in increased M2M connections as operators develop 5G capabilities and commercialise mobile IoT. Uses of M2M include smart metering, the connection of audio-visual and personal multimedia devices, telemetry, road traffic control, remote security monitoring, smart office equipment and the management of vehicle fleets.
