JOINER

JOINER is an international scale open experimental platform for future networks research, development and innovation.

What is JOINER?

JOINER (Joint Open Infrastructure for Networks Research) is a federation of more than 15 labs and test beds across the UK, led by the University of Bristol.

We provide the real-life conditions needed for world-leading research conducted at scale.

Powered by emerging AI, we're advancing:

  • end-to-end system solutions
  • technology readiness
  • network automation
  • telco cloud
  • spectrum
  • security
  • NTN.

Collaborating for the digital future

We’re closing the gap between the lab and the market.

This creates opportunities for our industry partners to exploit research, test in real-world conditions, work with end users and advance commercialisation.

JOINER brings together:

  • universities
  • large corporates
  • spinouts and start-ups
  • SMEs
  • government bodies.

How we work demonstrates the value of collaboration in addressing complex challenges and developing solutions that will underpin the UK’s future digital infrastructure.
