Advanced Connectivity Technology
The Advanced Connectivity area at the University of Glasgow is at the forefront of transformative telecommunication technologies. The approach is not just about advancing the technical landscape; it’s about reshaping global connectivity.
In the sphere of Wireless Communications, the groundbreaking work in developing new waveforms and enhancing IoT communications is setting new standards for efficiency and security in data transfer. This innovation extends to the Healthcare Technologies sector, where they’re revolutionising patient care with non-invasive, predictive health monitoring systems (Wireless Communication and Healthcare Technologies).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is another key area, where teams are optimising network resource management, ensuring smarter and more responsive connectivity. The Communication, Sensing and Imaging group’s initiatives in Free-space Optics and Wireless Backhaul are addressing the crucial spectrum crunch, while their work in Energy Harvesting Communications is redefining network sustainability. They are also tackling challenges in Ultra-reliable Low Latency Communications, essential for critical applications like autonomous vehicles.
These innovations are part of several EPSRC/DCMS/DSIT funded projects, including 5GRuralFirst, 5GNewThinking, COMP-O-RAN and more recently CHEDDAR,  ARCOM, TUDOR, BEACH, SCONDA, and ON-SIDE, each contributing uniquely to advancing communication technologies. We have state of the art facilities through Centre for advance electronics to develop, test and characterise new devices from low frequency to very high frequencies.
University of Glasgow’s future telecom areas’ vision transcends mere technological advancement; it’s about creating an interconnected world that is smarter, faster, and more intuitive – a future where communication is as natural as breathing.
