Research

Network research from constrained devices to quantum infrastructure.

The lab’s work is organised into four mutually reinforcing research pillars.

Pillar 1

Low-Power and Deterministic IoT

Reliable, energy-efficient and time-sensitive networking for IoT, IIoT, smart cities, wireless sensor networks and cyber-physical systems.
