The Broadband Communications group at EIT focuses on broadband access and core networks, on all layers. The research areas applied are signal processing, DSL systems, and network design. The group has a system-centric approach, where the system functionality and maintenance is the main focus. The research is performed in close cooperation with Swedish and International industrial partners. In Sweden, the group has a formal agreement with Ericsson AB, and cooperates with TeliaSonera, Bredbandsbolaget, and Acreo AB. The main objective of the group is to make a difference, both in academics and industry. Therefore, the applied research is always based on deep theoretical knowledge of the involved networks and systems.
