Qualcomm and BT set up UK 5G R&D lab
Qualcomm Technologies International is to set up a UK research lab for 5G technologies.
The lab, in collaboration with BT, will see 5G test equipment installed in the Qualcomm Technologies office in Farnborough.
The two have worked on technology development since the early days of 4G to the development of 5G. BT’s EE mobile division currently covers 60% of the UK population with 5G.
“We are excited to announce our collaboration with BT for testing and validation of new features and next generation services,” said Vikrant Jain, Director, Business Development, Qualcomm Technologies International.

“Our state-of-the-art lab facilities will help facilitate and speed up the time-to-market, which means customers can benefit from the new technology sooner. We value our relationship and that has been running for over a decade, and we would like to thank BT for their continued support on this advancing innovation and we look forward to what else is to come for us in the technology space in the future,” he said.
Naveen Khapali, Senior Manager, Device Technology at BT Group, says: “By working directly with Qualcomm Technologies in an embedded 5G lab, we’ll be able to realise the benefits of closer working, helping to bring the next generation of technology to our customers sooner.”
Qualcomm Technologies is a subsidiary of Qualcomm Inc and operates, along with its subsidiaries, substantially all of the engineering, research and development functions, and substantially all of our products and services businesses, including the QCT semiconductor business.
