The Communications Research Group (CRG) in the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Telecommunications for Development (T4D) group in the Department of Computer Science are the two players in the Centre for Broadband Networks research programme.

The Centre has built a bridge between the mobile communications industry and academia to identify future collaborations between the two sectors. Questions on the challenges ahead that will shape the Internet of the Future and how to enable future wireless networks and challenges in the network planning and optimization arising from the adoption of new technologies need to be answered.
