Research problems linked to this topic
- How will new and emerging technology change travel patterns and demand on the Strategic Road Network?
- Which areas of research on the uses of next generation networks may need policy interventions (e.g. Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence)? This may include driving strong take-up of fibre and 5G/6G, encouraging the adoption of the products and services, and increasing Willingness to Pay and supporting industry to make the necessary investments?
- What are some of the key drivers and enablers for take-up of gigabit-speed connectivity for (i) residential premises; (ii) business premises? [question of relevance to Digital Infrastructure, as seen in their section 1]
- What are the most common connected technology convergence points we will see realised in the UK in the next 5-10 years? What are the applications of these converged connected technologies? Which sectors will be most impacted? Will there be an increased cyber attack surface for converged technologies? How can the cyber security of converged technologies be managed?
- What impact do open internet regulations have on the efficient deployment and use of full fibre and 5G networks to meet the growing connectivity demand? How do changes in these regulations impact network investments, deployment and use - e.g. impact on traffic growth, traffic management, costs for ISPs and requirements of new use cases?
- What are some of the emergent technologies which will increase the need for gigabit connectivity for (i) residential premises; (ii) business premises?
- A changing world of work: Are there significant implications for worker health and safety and for building safety of widespread adoption across this diverse sector of: Modern Methods of Construction (MMC); AI, Autonomy and the Internet of Things; Robotics; Advanced materials and additive manufacturing?
- What will gigabit capable speeds not be sufficient for, and will this interact with overall network capacity and/or government ambitions? Does this differ for other characteristics of connectivity such as bandwidth and latency?
- What are the digital technology trends that the UK Government should be considering in the long term?
- What are the opportunities to influence global digital standards?
