Want to pinpoint the nucleus of all that is current and exciting in Ireland’s telecommunications research? That place is Ireland’s national research centre for Future Networks and Communications, CONNECT at Trinity College, Dublin.
Based on Westland Row, the red brick building in which CONNECT is housed already has form when it comes to innovation: In 1888 John Boyd Dunlop of Dunlop Tyres patented the pneumatic tyre here. Today, CONNECT are exploring Dublin’s considerable potential as a test-bed for the Internet of Things; the biggest tech revolution of the modern age, which will see anything that can be connected become connected, from cars to cities.
