From a 2017 university prototype to an award-winning clean-tech leader. Here's how we got here — and where we're going.
Our Origins
Roam Telecoms Ltd. was established in 2017 as a final-year university project at the University of Westminster. What started as a theoretical exploration of sustainable telecommunications quickly transformed into a working prototype — and then into a company.
Our working prototype entered the Big Ideas Competition (University of Westminster in Association with NACUE) and won first place, including a cash prize that gave us the resources to move from a student project into a serious commercial enterprise.
That early win validated our core belief: that sustainability and cutting-edge telecommunications technology are not in conflict — they are complementary. Since then, we've expanded our IP portfolio, forged international partnerships, and built the WEEE Roam initiative to tackle e-waste head-on.

How We Work
Three words define everything we do. They guide our product decisions, our partnerships, and our long-term vision for what responsible tech looks like.
We build technologies and business models that are designed to last — environmentally, commercially, and socially.
We give electronics a second life — salvaging, testing, and redistributing components that would otherwise be wasted.
What can't be repurposed is recycled responsibly — because zero waste is the only acceptable goal.
Collaborators
We have secured lifelong partnerships with some of the most amazing organisations, charities, companies, and international governments — partners who helped push our products through real-world use cases, into environments your average technological device would typically fail under considerable strain and usage.
Investor Relations
Roam Telecoms is the proud winner of the 2017 Big Ideas Competition in association with the University of Westminster.
We welcome NACUE and its core backer, alongside our strategic partnership with TATA Group, as part of our investor family. These relationships have provided not just capital but invaluable guidance, networks, and real-world validation of our technology.

We are proud that the following companies have chosen to license Roam Telecoms technologies.
Our Approach
Our licensing programme is built on transparency, fairness, and mutual respect. We believe that great technology should be accessible — and that licences should be achievable without litigation.
