Electronic Systems and Communications
Our added value
The research we carry out covers the development of embedded systems for all types of industrial, transportation, energy, consumer electronics and biomedical applications. We work in wired or wireless communications with solutions that range from the design of intelligent electronic components and communication to the development of algorithms or the implementation of microprocessors.
