About

Neutral Wireless Ltd is a UK advanced connectivity company developing and deploying private 5G and software-defined radio solutions for demanding professional applications.

The company originated from the University of Strathclyde’s StrathSDR research activity and combines deep expertise in wireless communications, software-defined radio, 5G systems and real-world network deployment. Neutral Wireless develops private 5G radios, platforms and complete network solutions, together with associated software for control, management and optimisation.

A key differentiator is the company’s ability to provide highly configurable private 5G networks designed around customer requirements rather than conventional public mobile network architectures. This includes support for shared spectrum, uplink-biased operation, advanced network control and applications requiring high-capacity, low-latency and resilient communications. Neutral Wireless can also offer customers a Sovereign Radio proposition, with greater transparency and control over key software and radio components.

The company has developed a strong reputation in live media and broadcasting, where private 5G can replace or complement traditional wireless camera and contribution links. Its technology has been used in major real-world deployments including the King’s Coronation in London, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and a range of sporting and live event environments.

Neutral Wireless has worked with leading organisations across broadcasting, telecoms and technology, including the BBC, Cisco, Sony, Orange, Intel, Samsung, AMD and Qualcomm, as well as international broadcasters, network operators, systems integrators and specialist technology partners.

Beyond media, the company is expanding into resilient communications, rural and remote connectivity, emergency response, defence-related applications and future 5G/6G systems. It is particularly interested in markets where private networks provide better resilience, security, capacity or control than conventional public mobile services.

Neutral Wireless operates as a specialist engineering-led SME with strong in-house capability across RF, software, networking, systems integration and field deployment. The company’s strategy is to scale from successful technology demonstrations and deployments into repeatable commercial products and services for UK and international markets.

Problem / solution

Private 5G is often designed around conventional downlink-heavy mobile use cases, limiting performance for broadcast, media and other uplink-intensive applications. Neutral Wireless uses software-defined radio, configurable 5G radio platforms and advanced management tools to engineer uplink-biased, high-capacity private networks tailored to demanding professional applications. We provide solutions and engineering design across wireless systems, 5G, satellite, precision timing, RFSoC and more.
