UKTL is the UK’s trusted national telecoms lab dedicated to ensuring secure and reliable telecoms networks for the future. We offer a secure, independent space where operators and vendors can confidently test and evaluate the resilience, security and interoperability of new telecoms equipment and software before they are deployed in the UK market.
Located in a purpose-built facility in Solihull, at the heart of the fast-growing West Midlands technology hub, UKTL was established by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and is operated by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). The lab supports the UK government’s security and diversification policy by helping to expand and secure the UK’s telecoms supply chain. As telecoms networks evolve into 5G and beyond, UKTL offers crucial accurate measurement capabilities to develop more secure products, identify potential vulnerabilities in existing systems and provide rigorous testing for the country’s fixed and mobile networks.
UKTL is committed to working in partnership, producing ground-breaking work, and providing reassurance for industry, government, academia and the consumer. UKTL champions telecoms cyber security and will actively shape the future of the UK’s digital infrastructure and emerging technologies.
