About TITAN

Mission

Our work drives social inclusion by improving coverage and accessibility while fostering economic growth with sustainability at its core. As a leader in telecommunications innovation, TITAN strengthens the UK’s global economic position and plays a vital role in building a more connected, secure, and prosperous world.

Our ultimate mission is to design a seamless, open, and fully integrated Network of Networks (NoN), laying the groundwork for the evolution of 6G networks and beyond.

Objectives

Our vision for the ultimate Network of Networks (NoN) is to create a secure, self-configurable, self-optimising, self-healing, net-zero, and resilient system. To achieve this, we will focus on the following key objectives:

• Intelligent Control: Establish advanced control mechanisms across all physical layer segments, driving the development of the NoN.
• Research Innovation: Identify and tackle emerging challenges in traditional communication fields.
• Collaborative Development: Build strong partnerships to co-create cutting-edge communication technologies.
• Strategic Engagement: Collaborate with companion platforms and the Joint Open Infrastructure for Networks Research (JOINER) initiative.
• Leadership Cultivation: Support early career researchers and nurture the next generation of research leaders.
• Global Impact: Generate significant and timely contributions to the evolution of 6G networks, focusing on UK leadership.
• IP Development: Ensure the creation and protection of a valuable pipeline of new intellectual property.
• Standards Contribution: Actively participate in shaping technical standards.

TITAN is a key component of the Federated Telecoms Hub, alongside HASC and CHEDDAR, each of which has been allocated £1.33 million as part of a £4 million initiative. These funds aim to expand the scope of our research, showcase 6G trials and experiments, and foster collaborative efforts among Hub members and new partners across the UK.
