- Government launches public call for information on the uses and security of private telecoms networks in the UK
- The exercise will help develop understanding of the private telecoms market
- The remit will cover technologies being deployed, the sectors using these networks, and the security measures taken to protect them
The government has today (5 July 2023) launched a public call for information on the uses and security of private telecoms networks in the UK. These are networks that provide bespoke services to closed user groups and are different to public telecoms networks, which supply a standard service to individuals or businesses, relying on common infrastructure.
The call for information will help the government develop its understanding of the private telecoms market, including the technologies being deployed, the sectors using these networks, and the security measures taken to protect them. This information will be used to determine if any government intervention is required to promote the security and resilience of private telecoms networks.
The call for information will be open for 10 weeks and closes on 13 September 2023.
