Critical technologies enable the communication infrastructure of today and are essential to meeting the demand of the digital economy in future.
Mobile phones
From displays and camera systems to facial recognition and wireless charging, our smart phones are littered with devices underpinned by critical technologies.
High speed internet
Optical fibres use light to transfer data over long distances at high speed, offering significant speed and bandwidth advantages over traditional copper cables.
Data centres
The backbone of our data economy could not exist without critical technologies and advances in these technologies will improve their efficiency in future.
Wireless communications
Our demand for ubiquitous connectivity will be met by a range of communications services, including WiFi, LiFi, 5G/6G and satellite.
Security
Quantum cryptography, including Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), will secure our communications, ensuring our sensitive data is protected from malicious interference.
