Telecoms Supply Chain Diversification Advisory Council Independent report and recommendations to government

Summary

The UK faces significant security and resilience risks due to its reliance on a limited number of telecoms equipment vendors, making its networks vulnerable to disruption and cyber-attacks. This independent report provides recommendations to the government on how to diversify the telecoms supply chain, focusing on supporting new market entrants and addressing concentration risks across various network components. While some progress has been achieved, including a £250 million investment in Open RAN and vendor commitments, further government action is planned to enhance the long-term security and resilience of UK networks.
