In 1996, by Prof. Willie Donnelly and has grown to over one hundred people
Fraunhofer, CNRS, HP Labs, Deutsch Telecom, Intel, IBM, Cisco
Leading software R&D Centre with particular expertise in networks and communications services.
Connected globally with other Research centres, this is reflected in the Post Doc’s and PhD Students with a total of 40 in NetLabs
is internationally recognised as doing world class science and being able to translate this into some of the hottest mobile start-ups and technologies in the industry right now.

SFI FAME From Science to engineering
IBM, Unified Communications (UC), QoE and Performance UC (video / voice/ messaging) are an important application and an area of competence for IBM!
Engineering Services
• Understanding the QoE and end-to-end performance!
• Testing and auto-tuning of the applications in order to mitigate issues with non-
ideal network conditions. !
• Developed solutions and new IP that eventually lead to integration of these
solutions into their UC product portfolio (collaborators UCD and NUIM).!
• Policy Frameworks in context of Network federations and governance !
• Policy continuum mapping business logic to physical layer configurations!
• Policy evaluation performance !
