Global demand for broadband communications continues to increase substantially year on year. A major factor contributing to this demand is the growing number of fixed and mobile broadband users, data-hungry applications like video, and an ever-increasing number of network-connected everyday objects and machines. It is forecast that by 2020 the number of network-connected devices will reach 1,000 times the world’s population. A University of Bristol-led research project that aims to implement radically new network models has been awarded £6 million funding by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has announced £2.9 million funding for state-of-the-art equipment for eight doctoral training initiatives at Bristol.
