This Hub will bring together seven partner institutions from across the UK in a 3 year programme of work, with the key goal to realise the vision of ‘all-spectrum connectivity’.
Total project funding amount: £1,300,000
Project date(s): -
Category: Government Funded
Status: Open
Project Summary
Over the next decade, we will see even greater utilisation of this resource as developments in wireless seek to exploit THz and optical ranges of the spectrum, while innovations in fibre (wired) systems will pave the way for hollow-core fibres and the use of new longer wavelength systems. Given this trend, it is clear that wireless and wired spectrum can no longer be considered in isolation and must be treated as single resource.
Future communications systems will therefore be required to jointly optimise design and operation across both domains to deliver intelligent ‘all-spectrum’ connectivity which can adapt to meet the current and future demands of users. This will include ubiquitous access to services providing capacity, reliability, reduced latency and sensing, all under the constraints of enhanced levels of security, resilience, energy efficiency and sustainability.
The key goal of the Hub is to realise the vision of ‘all-spectrum connectivity’ by focusing on the challenges of:
All-spectrum connectivity:
In this challenge we will determine how to optimally combine regions of wired and wireless spectra for end-to-end connectivity, beyond the use of conventional transport methods.
