In a world of ever increasing network bandwidth, an explosion of devices and burgeoning data storage, what could future communications and information technology bring? In his presentation, Dr Tim Whitley will introduce the long history of innovation in BT and the research that we are undertaking today. Tim will then explore how developments in the access network and the core network, coupled with big data analysis techniques, could lead to new opportunities in connected communities – from refuse collection to traffic management.

Tim will finally reflect upon his personal experiences from his long career in BT, from joining as an apprentice to becoming a BT Distinguished Engineer.
