Centre for Ultra-Broadband Information Networks (CUBIN)
CUBIN aims to be a national and international focus for research into future generations of telecommunications. CUBIN focuses on fundamental theory and practical approaches to the design, implementation and management of ultra-broadband networks.
The key objectives of CUBIN are to:
- Undertake research in ultra-broadband information networks, with a focus on advancing theory, and developing analysis and design methodologies for future generations of networks.
- Serve as a national focus for interdisciplinary research activities that will underpin the new generation of ultra-broadband information networks and break down barriers between hardware and software developments.
- Establish an international presence in ultra-broadband networking research and facilitate active collaboration with leading telecommunications research laboratories in Australia, and with major international laboratories.
- Develop close interactions with industry and undertake collaborative research with industry, with the objective of developing technologies and intellectual property with potential for commercialisation in Australia.
- Provide graduate and postdoctoral training, with the objective of serving the employment needs of the Australian telecommunications industry.
- Assist in the development of awareness of the importance of ultra-broadband telecommunications among the broader technical community and the general public.
The Centre is building close links with industry and with major Australian and overseas university research groups. To assist in fostering collaborations, the Centre will sponsor national telecommunications workshops and has established a visitor scheme for Australian and overseas researchers.
