Working today on the communications of the future and responding to the needs of society is the raison d'être of

atlanTTic,

With more than 170 professionals, laboratories and facilities that are internationally renowned, the Center develops its activity in three areas of research: communications, digital services and cybersecurity.

Approaching their daily work, peeking into their laboratories or learning about their projects provide clues about how we will communicate in 2030.

The main objective of atlanTTic is to research, attract talent, generate knowledge with high added value and transfer it to the productive fabric.

They have been doing it for more than a decade and the figures for this last year are optimistic: 42 active projects, 21 international, and more than 1.4 million euros raised.

As it could not be otherwise, the most important capital of atlanTTic is its research staff.

The Center is committed to strengthening its lines of research both by attracting senior professionals of recognized prestige and by attracting and training young talent from the international arena, coordinating and participating in various postgraduate programs, activities and projects.

Among other lines of research, atlanTTic works to promote and transfer solutions

to the industry .

Remote surgery, smart cities, the autonomous car or

are some of the technologies that focus their projects.

Its 5G laboratory, a benchmark in the northwest of the peninsula for its equipment and facilities, is open to society and at the service of the technology industry.

In this search to offer solutions that will represent a radical change in communications, the Center regularly collaborates with leading companies in the sector such as operators (Telefónica, Orange), manufacturers (Cisco, ZTE), integrators (Optare, Alisys) or advanced users (Stelantis).

Currently, the laboratory provides its services to the project

, a consortium promoted by the Xunta de Galicia and led by Stellantis Vigo to design the factory of the future and the connected car.

quantum and photonics

The Center is also a leader in

, a leading sector in Europe with industries that already account for between 20% and 30% of the EU economy.

Supported by the European Space Agency (ESA),

a laboratory specializing in quantum and photonic communications that will be launched in the coming months and will be an international benchmark.

Likewise,

(

the future factory and R&D center specializing in photonic semiconductors that will be based in Vigo and that will mean another of the great technological revolutions that await us with the replacement of electronic chips by photonics.

Exploring the enormous possibilities offered

through artificial intelligence is another of the lines of action for atlanTTic researchers.

Applications such as Panoramix, designed to detect cognitive impairment, have been selected by the European e-health platform Gatekeeper from among 114 proposals from 23 different countries.

Or Celia, an application designed for patients with dementia based on intelligent conversational assistants.

Another field that places the Center in the international arena is that of

.

Companies from Silicon Valley, the global epicenter of high technology, use an application developed by atlanTTic researchers capable of detecting the manipulation of photographic files to prevent cyberfraud.

Another hallmark of the Center is the recently obtained patent for a quantum random number generator to encrypt information, which can be used in medical, statistical or industrial simulations.

There is only one similar in Europe, but the one patented by an atlanTTic researcher is simpler and safer.

satellites

In the field of

, atlanTTic has been a benchmark since 2007 when, through a collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), researchers from the Center launched the first Galician satellite and the first national cubesat into orbit, in within the Xatcobeo project.

Of this scientific career, which has placed the University of Vigo as a pole of reference in this technology, the following milestones stand out: 5 satellites placed in orbit;

promotion, in 2015, of the Aerospace Innovation Center Foundation (CINAE);

the constitution of the

Allen Space;

participation in national and European projects and contracts for more than 6 million euros;

more than 20 collaborations with ESA for an amount of more than 2 million euros or, recently, the creation of the Aerospace Technologies Research Group (GTA).

atlanTTic is accredited as a Research Center of the Galician University System, co-financed by the Xunta de Galicia and the European Union, through the European Regional Development Fund and the FEDER Galicia 2014-2020 Operational Program.

Research Excellence

The value proposal of atlanTTic, a center located in the EE of Telecommunications of the University of Vigo, is based on excellence in research and the transfer of results, the high qualification of its research staff and its close collaboration with agents of the quadruple helix in R&D&i.

In the last four years, atlanTTic raised almost 7.5 million euros through 77 research projects, and the European calls over this period accounted for 5.9 million euros raised, including Erasmus+, Interreg, Life and H2020 projects.

Currently, it has 17 active international projects and 6 belong to the H2020 program, (it leads 3 of them), with a total amount for this annuity of 860,000 euros.

technology transfer

True to its mission of promoting the advancement of society through the generation and transfer of knowledge in the field of telecommunications technologies and digital services, the work of transferring knowledge to society and the industrial fabric constitutes one of the pillars of atlanTTic, having raised 7 million euros in recovery and transfer projects in the 2018-2021 period with 96 active contracts.

Some of the technological partners of the Center are Telefónica, Orange, Indra, Navalia, Stellantis, Atos, ESA, Optare Solutions, Gradiant, Ancora Mobile, Coinscrap Finance, Imatia Innovation, CTAG, Centum or Marine Instruments.
