Situated in the heart of the Westcott Venture Park, in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, the Wescott 5G Step-out Centre (SoC) offers the opportunity for industry partners and leading academics to work towards a shared vision that will help define and develop the next-generation of terrestrial and satellite 5G infrastructure and applications.
In an integrated 5G ecosystem, satellite networks are providing a highly dependent and global coverage type of communication. Satellites are well positioned to target high data rate broadcast/multicast services, M2M narrowband services, congestion offload of terrestrial networks (ie. for signalling and/or video) as well as highly distributed and customised enterprise networks (ie. critical infrastructures, dedicated M2M, industrial communication).
The Westcott 5G SoC offers a unique 5G facility to test and develop new services and products by accessing the latest wireless applications service equipment and satellite data without the need to invest in expensive infrastructure.
This allows you to rapidly prototype and commission new services and applications under representative real-world conditions ahead of your market roll-out.
Within the broad range of 5G capabilities, Westcott offers many advantages to other centres, particularly for the development of wireless applications. Westcott provides a secure, controlled environment with 650 acres of open space available within the estate.
5G or ‘fifth generation’ network is more than an evolution of wireless broadband, it is a key enabler of the future digital world and has the potential to transform our economic sectors.
We offer an open and accessible test facility, with a full spectrum of Ofcom licences from 700-420Mhz, and integration of satellite and terrestrial networks with seamless connectivity.
