Future communication systems including 6G, faster internet access and cloud computing are all technologies which will be boosted by a £6m investment by EPSRC.
Three trailblazing platforms, each receiving funding of £2 million, have been put in place to develop innovations in communications systems, whilst connecting the wider academic, business and international communities.
Jane Nicholson, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s (EPSRC) Director for Research Base, said:
Digital communications infrastructure underpins the UK’s economy of today and tomorrow and these projects will help support the jobs and industry of the future.
Everybody relies on secure and swift networking and EPSRC is committed to backing the research which will advance these technologies.
