3CS – The Centre for Converged Services, based at Waterford IoT, undertakes collaborative Applied Research and innovation in converged Internet and Telecommunications services which it aims to deploy commercially to market via industry partnerships. SUNAT – The Centre for Seamless Use Through Netowrk Abstraction, based at Athlone IoT, focuses on research for seamless content delivery across different network technologies using fixed, mobile, and/or wireless networks and networked service platforms and devices. TEC centre – The TEC Centre, based at Cork IoT, focuses on the area of embedded computing (i.e. electronics and software in such things as consumer electronics, entertainment devices, household appliances, cars, airplanes, etc) is earmarked to lead the next wave of key technology development in the near future. WiSAR - The WiSAR Lab, based at Letterkenny, IoT, performs R&D on Wireless Sensor Networks, where sensors < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor > monitor physical or environmental properties and use wireless communications to report their readings. It focusses on minimising power use and in the new Body Area Network standards (IEEE 802.15.6) for medical (e.g. heart rate, blood pressure and ECG) and non-medical (e.g. pedometers) applications around the human body.
