Communications forms an essential part of most electronics systems. This event, part of the NMI Analogue/Mixed-Signal/RF Network, will look at the technologies behind a range of high speed wireline and wireless technologies and consider the challenges in meeting the demand for ever increasing data rates. We will also be looking at the evolution of telecommunications networks, the opportunities created by greater integration of infrastructure and an initiative to develop the next generation of communications engineers.
 
As with all NMI Network events, in addition to the presentations, there will be ample opportunity to meet and network with attendees from a wide variety of organisations.
