Technological capabilities
The research activity is structured around nine Research Units (RUs): Sustainable Artificial Intelligence (SAI), Information and Signal Processing for Intelligent Communications (ISPIC), Adaptive Processing Technologies (ADAPT), Services as Networks (SaS), Open Simulations (OpenSim), Packet Optical Networks and Services (PONS), Space and Resilient Communications (SRCOM), Navigation and Positioning (N&P), and Geomatics (GM).
The CTTC has several technologies that have either been transferred to the business world or are likely to be.
Among them are:
- Hardware accelerators for embedded System-on-Chip for GNSS-SDR (IP core).
- Antenna array with controlled radiation pattern: with a Real-time implementation.
- 5G User Terminal for non-terrestrial networks).
- TeraFlowSDN, an open source software-defined networking (SDN) controller.
