Networked Systems
Networked Systems are technologies which connect the 'smart products' of Embedded Systems to form 'smarter networks'. These networked systems differ from the current systems in their scale, the technologies used to interconnect them, and the way they can be used.
NICTA’s approach to managing networks is to ensure that they operate efficiently, reliably, safely and predictably as well as being able to exploit unique applications and services.
We are pursuing the development of technologies to solve critical problems in the monitoring and control of networks while creating unique applications for the next generation of networked systems.
Create a pervasive, reliable communication infrastructure that will take end-users across fundamental technical barriers that separates different wireless technologies
