I lead one of eight pathfinder projects funded by UK government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, Infralink-Exchange, that promotes the installation of mobile transmitters, including small cells, across the Tay Cities region (Angus Council, Dundee City Council, Fife Council and Perth and Kinross Council).

The Infralink programme is engaging with public sector property owners and mobile industry to improve mobile connectivity by taking a national approach to streamlining and simplifying the network roll-out process.

As a member of the digital infrastructure team at the infrastructure experts, Scottish Futures Trust (SFT), I support national and local government with achieving their mobile connectivity objectives across 4G and 5G (macro and small cells) utilising sector knowledge and commercial experience to deliver approaches and projects that work within the public.

As one of the founding partners of the Scotland 5G Centre, I represent Scottish Futures Trust on the Governing Board to impart my knowledge and experience in governance, legal, strategic communications and marketing, project delivery and resource management. At this early stage of the Centre and indeed 5G in Scotland, I bring my knowledge of the wider.

Being part of this active working group allows me to focus in on a particular user group for 5G and ensure we are promoting the transformative capabilities and benefits of 5G to the ultimate end users. It keeps my eye on the real motives for additional digital infrastructure and allows me to engage with some of the real pioneers in 5G across the UK.

The £254m contract with BT plc provided fibre broadband infrastructure across Scotland that is capable of supporting the Scottish Government's long-term aspirations while also providing a step change in current.

My role.
