The Strategic Area of Telecommunications
integrates diverse expertise, particularly in the development
of applications, services and platforms, as well as in the
field of telecommunications system management, operation and
technical assistance.
Several projects targeting at medium and large enterprises
- national and international leaders in telecommunications
- have been developed, which enabled INOV to gain technologies
in the area of dedicated voice and data communications, Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN), digital multiplexers and
concentrators for commutation centres, wireless local area
networks, mobile GSM/GPRS and UMTS networks, as well as in
the domain of broadband and IP communications.
In this Strategic Area we also have high expertise in speech
technology, developing innovative systems for national companies,
with particular emphasis on the synthesis and automatic recognition
of the Portuguese speech. Here we keep the Universal Design
philosophy in order to meet the requirements from end users
with special needs.
Other aspects of the activity include the development of terminal
equipment and interfunctioning units of for different access
networks.
The Area of Telecommunications has been also represented
in several projects within the framework of the Sixth Framework
European Programme, Information Society Technologies (IST):
in the area of IP networks with QoS support, MPEG transmission
in wired and wireless IP networks, PLC networks, mobile and
wireless networks, and even sensor networks.
Another direction of activity is the design and implementation
of the architecture and systems for communications network
management.
Know-how dissemination through actions of specialized technical
consultancy for telecommunications equipment operators and
manufacturers, as well as the advanced training services,
is yet another INOV activity in the Area.
