Celebrating three years in business, boutique telecoms advisory was founded by UK telecoms expert Iqbal Singh Bedi in February 2017 and has had its busiest year to date. And it isn’t planning to slow down anytime in the near future – having recently launched an IoT research programme with support from the University of Strathclyde which should published later this summer.
Intelligens Consulting was established by entrepreneur and experienced telecoms professional Iqbal who left a London based professional telecoms consulting firms three years ago. Among many telecoms firsts, he is the only consultant to have advised Nicola Sturgeon and Boris Johnson on telecoms policy.
Now based out of Glasgow, Intelligens Consulting has become one of Scotland’s most experienced telecoms advisors to public and private sector clients.
A particularly active 2019 saw the firm advise local authorities, operators, train operating companies and investors with strategic advice on 5G, IoT, WiFi, full fibre and subsea connectivity.
Intelligens is truly global boasting recent client wins as far away Lesotho and Papua New Guinea as well as many closer to home in England, Ireland and Scotland.
Most recently Intelligens Consulting has supported a Scottish local authority to benefit from a market led and privately funded investment in full fibre, 5G and IoT. This is the first such initiative of its kind in the UK and will become a cookies cutter for other UK local authorities that have not benefited from government full fibre funding.
