We play a key role in researching and advancing the technologies necessary to facilitate a quantum leap in mobile phone technology, and aim to develop next-generation wireless communications systems and their components. Long-term research focuses on communications and information theory, which informs more short-term, applied research, and appeals directly to global industrial partners. We are involved in the Virtual Centre of Excellence in Mobile and Personal Communications.
