SUMMARY:Showcasing a Welsh developed 5G innovation for rural communities
DESCRIPTION:July meeting of the UK Fibre Connectivity Forum \nThe Welsh Government are providing £4.2 million of funding to Bangor University’s Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Centre of Excellence to bring 5G broadband connections through fibre optic cables into harder to reach areas. The University is working with a consortium of companies to increase the capacity and enhance the sensing ability of fibre optic cables used to deliver faster and more reliable mobile broadband\, and this will be trailed with more than 400 premises on Ynys Mon that do not have access to superfast broadband. The broadband delivery part of the project will last 18 months and will allow customers to be connected as soon as the first site is live and will continue through 2025. The project is also supported by Isle of Anglesey County Council and the North Wales Economic Ambition Board. \nAgenda\n1.30pm Registration and coffee \n2pm Welcome from the chair of UKFCF \n2.10pm Grant Thornton \n2.20pm The Anglesey 5G EDC Broadband Project with contributions from \n\nPeter Curnow-Ford\, Project Director\nVodafone-Tony Roberts – Head of Vodafone Regional Business Wales\nStephen Pegrum\, Sorrento Networks\n\nQ&A \n3.20pm break \nQ& A \n3.45pm networking and refreshments \n5pm meeting closes

SUMMARY:Hot Electron Applications and Technology
DESCRIPTION:New research on “Reactive Plasmonics”\, led by King’s College London and Imperial College London\, is developing technologies to harness the large intrinsic thermal energy of light. Remarkably\, “hot electrons” excited by light in metals achieve temperatures of many 1000°C\, while the host metal remains near ambient conditions. This activates a range of opto-electronic and photo-chemical processes with applications in photodetection\, sensing\, catalysis and localized thermal treatments. \nTake part in tailored discussion sessions on three scientific themes and ask researchers about how they would apply their research in: \nCatalysis – photochemistry; Sabatier process; photocatalysts \nThe impact of hot-electrons derived from metals leads to greener chemistry with massive energy savings and with the possibility to activate novel reaction pathways on the horizon. (14:15-15:00) \nSensing – bandgap free photodetectors; gas sensors \nHot electrons within opto-electronic devices point to new band-gap-free methods of photodetection; breaking the principle that specific materials must be tailored to detect certain colours of light. (15:00-15:45) \nNanoscale Heat – thermometry; photo-acoustics; refractory materials \nOur ability to shape metals with nanoscale features means that we can localise heat on similar dimensions. This enables technology to focus and deliver heat with exquisite temporal and spatial precision. (16:00-16:45) \n  \nJoin Industry and Academic speakers from the Reactive Plasmonics team at our Online Industry Open Day on 25 November to discuss how this research affects your industry
