Cutting-edge research, unprecedented collaboration, and commercial opportunity.

The Federated Telecoms Hubs (or FTH) combine the collective excellence in communications research of over 25 leading UK universities and research institutions. It exists to drive cutting-edge research, extensive collaboration, and be a catalyst for telecoms innovation — ensuring the UK harnesses even greater value from its academic distinction.
