About us
Over the last 180 years we’ve established ourselves as a brand capable of achieving great things, and whilst we’re proud of our history we’ve never stopped looking to the future. Over the last decade we’ve had the third highest R&D spend in the UK and we’re constantly creating new products to build onto our 4000+ patent portfolio.
Our industry leading research into next-generation broadband, 5G mobile technologies, AI, cyber security, and the future of TV, enables us to develop the cutting-edge solutions that keep us ahead of the competition.
But don’t just take our word for it. We partner with over 150 companies and 40 universities globally including Cambridge and MIT. That network allows us to find the best technological innovations, blend them with our own capabilities and in-house research, and create exciting new possibilities for our customers.
We’ve got a start-up mentality with the backing of a big business and our culture is built on innovation, on encouraging new ideas and on letting people act on them. So… where will your ideas take you?
