A National Research Centre funded by Science Foundation Ireland
CONNECT is the one stop shop for all things to do with future networks and communications in Ireland
IoTWirelessCellularFixed
hardware, software, infrastructure, architecture, management, applications, services, business models …
THE RESEARCH TEAM35 PIs
200 researchers initially
THE INDUSTRY TEAM35+
35% of all jobs in the
ICT sector in Ireland are based in the CONNECT industry partners
NETWORKEDCONNECT is about the creation of networks that will support the varied, conflicting, and abundant services that our world will require
CONNECT VISIONThe network is performed into existence in response to a service need.
The network is an open malleable, programmable, responsive substrate. New modes of ownership / multiple actors / new forms of business are possible.

Making Smart Things for the Internet of Things
Target Markets:• Industrial, Medical, Automotive,
Agriculture, Environment
Target Sensors (Actuators):• Physical – presence, location,
activity, gesture, touch• Bio/Chemical – liquid, gas,
biomarker, physiology• Electromagnetic – ultra-sound,
magnetic fields, current, radiation, light, wireless/RF signals (smart antennae)
Smart Cities: Energy Efficient Sensing Platforms
Building efficient low power, low cost sensors for using in cities to capture dynamic data on
• noise • wifi and mobile phone coverage• weather (esp rain for flooding)• air monitoring
Our technology focus is:• edge-processing for data reduction
and network level energy saving.• efficient sensing platforms
Working in partnership with Dublinked, the Dublin City Smart City & Data-Sharing Initiative.

BIG PICTURE
1.BLANKET IRELAND IN IOT INFRASTRUCTURE
2.OPEN UP OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXISTING COMPANIES
3. SEED 200 NEW COMPANIES
4.CONNECT A MILLION THINGS
5.MAKE IRELAND THE DEFINITIVE IOT TEST ISLAND
WHAT KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE?
Dedicated IoT InfrastructureBased on Low Powered WAN approachesNarrow to medium bandwidthsConnectivity to awkward spotsTargeting application areas across ALL the verticals that fit the characteristics of the network [Smaller message size, bursty, low powered, all ranges, free running, low to medium power devices ….]Enormous range of applications fit this bill – health, agriculture, environment, climate change, food, education, economics, etc.
