Connectivity Technologies and Platforms

You are here:

Communication technology has contributed to unprecedented levels of economic growth.

Connectivity between devices and sensors enables universal internet access and has become a prerequisite for the operation of all applications and systems. The importance of connectivity as an enabler of digitalisation is expected to increase even more in the future, because an increasing number of companies require greater access to cloud and mobile services as they move towards establishing digital businesses. Reliable and secure connectivity will be essential for the operation of new technologies such as drones and autonomous vehicles.

Research areas

Wireless communications

The term "connectivity" traditionally refers to the quality, state, or capability of a system to communicate information. However, access to the internet has nowadays become so common that the term often simply is used merely to state whether you are connected or not. Even so, it is also usually associated exclusively with the wireless part of a connection, connecting a wireless device to a wired (fibred) infrastructure with access to a cloud or edge service.

COASTAL Squared provides a Norwegian perspective to the H2020 project COASTAL by examining the interactions of rural and coastal areas in a Norwegian context.

ML4ITS – Machine Learning for Irregular Time Series

09 June 2021

The goal of this project is to overcome the issue of limited available or labelled data for (multivariate) time series modelling, where heterogeneity of the data as well as noise, pose further challenges. ML4ITS’s main objective is to advance the state-of-the-art in time series analysis for “irregular” time series.

SMILE – Providing digitalised prevention and prediction support for ageing people in smart living environments

04 May 2021

The main aim of SMILE is to create SMart Inclusive Living Environments (SLE) with novel eHealth solutions that enable ageing in place. Specifically, the SLE ecosystem will provide an infrastructure, that not only supports older people to live independently and relatively actively, but also fosters collaboration and learning between older people and members of their circles of care.
