Further Investment in L&T Resources for Glasgow College UESTC
With the ongoing pandemic situation and associated travel and visa restrictions continuing to prevent staff travel to Chengdu for face-to-face teaching to date in AY2021/22, it has been agreed that a significant amount of funding, totalling £252,102, will be reinvested towards the enhancement of research-led teaching facilities and initiatives of Glasgow College UESTC following from previous investment last academic year.
This funding will be used towards improvements to the new teaching space for use by Glasgow College UESTC students to optimise remote delivery of teaching and improve the student experience, as well as continuous investments in laboratory resources associated with current and emerging areas of study in electronics and electrical engineering, which will enhance the quality of our educational provision for years to come. This will enable our students to have hands on experience in the chosen engineering fields of study, with the investments focussing particularly on Robotics, Quantum Engineering and High-Performance Computing.

Future RAN: Diversifying the 5G Supply Chain Competition Winners
Congratulations to Prof Muhammad Imran, who, with the support of Dr Yusuf Sambo, Dr Oluwakayode Onireti and Dr Shuja Ansari, has secured a prestigious funding award totalling £4,732.473 from the UK Government's Department of Digital Culture Media and Sports (DCMS) for the project CoMP-O-RAN (Coordinated Multipoint Open Radio Access Network) in partnership with Dense Air Limited, Airspan Communications Limited, Blu Wireless Technology Limited, Radisys UK Limited.
Coordinated Multipoint Open Radio Access Network (CoMP-O-RAN) will revolutionize the performance and cost of densified 5G New Radio (NR) outdoor small cell clusters. The integration of standard Open Radio Access Network technology with Wave transport systems enables the deployment of disaggregated multi-transmission and reception multi-node 5G NR without the need for excessive fibre which drives down capital-intensive deployment costs.
