JOINER’s National Spectrum Facility (JNSF) provides a UK-wide, measurement-driven research infrastructure designed to transform spectrum from a constrained and statically allocated resource into a continuously observable and intelligently managed system.

The University of Bristol, working through the JOINER Platform, has developed and is validating a predictive path-switching framework for resilient multimedia streaming over integrated terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks.

Madevo and JOINER have partnered to develop autonomous AI agents for real telecom and data centre operations.

Last week the UK Government announced a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Ireland, naming the JOINER open experimentation platform as a key pillar of bilateral cooperation on future networks, 6G research and digital resilience.

The JOINER Platform has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreement with Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) establishing a formal partnership to support collaboration and joint experimentation between the two world-leading research organisations.

We’re delighted to share details on our presence at MWC Barcelona. Innovations on show will include telecom networks as an alternative to hyperscale data centres for AI large language models (LLMs), showcasing the monitoring capabilities of the JOINER National Spectrum Facility and holographic telepresence across Europe.

Throughout my career, one phrase that’s always stuck in my mind is ‘‘test a lot and learn quickly’’.

Having received £16m funding from the EPSRC Future Communications Platforms and other Future Networks R&D initiatives such as DSIT and Innovate UK, the University of Bristol have led the design of a heterogeneous, multi-site architecture platform that can pull huge amounts of complex data to test deployment in real-world environments.

Join the Federated Telecoms Hubs for a high impact expo that places you at the centre of the UK’s advanced connectivity research ecosystem. Designed for industry leaders and investors, this event showcases groundbreaking research and innovations.

We’re delighted to share that JOINER has won the “AI Award for High Tech & Telecom” at the 2025 AI Awards, recognising our leadership in driving AI innovation across the UK’s telecoms ecosystem.
