UK networks are pushing the limits of 5G while preparing for 5G Advanced and, beyond that, 6G. The road ahead is complex, with challenges including spectrum release and licensing, deployment density, power and timing requirements, and fiber-based backhaul. Operators must balance commercial viability with coverage obligations and resilience targets as expectations for new services and industrial automation accelerate.

In this panel debate, Anthony Magee and a group of industry and academic leaders will explore the timeline from 5G Advanced to practical 6G. Magee will unpack enabling technologies such as network slicing at scale and AI-native RAN, and examine regulatory levers, standards and use cases across manufacturing, logistics, health, utilities and transport. The panel will outline steps operators and policymakers can take now to prepare for the next generation of mobile connectivity.
