“Telecommunications has the power to bring people together , keep them safe , revolutionise the way they work , and create new opportunities ”

» WHAT DO THE NEXT 12 MONTHS HOLD FOR YOU AND THE COMPANY ? In the next 12 months , 5G standalone will be spotlighted in the UK . With this transition underway , my focus will be to enhance collaboration with UK customers to advance network evolution and realise 5G monetisation .

Other priorities include boosting 5G capacity through mid-band ( TDD ) densification since many sites still need to be upgraded to 5G mid-band . In addition , improving network performance in indoor environments is a priority and presents vast potential for 5G use cases . Sustainability is also a core focus for me . Our 5G portfolio is 10 times more energy efficient per transferred data than 4G , and we have already observed significant results with our lightweight antenna-integrated radio ( AIR 3268 ), achieving up to a 40 per cent reduction in energy consumption for BT / EE .
I am truly excited about the future and committed towards a strong and successful partnership with our valued customers .
