Vision
The telecommunications market has been gradually shifting from operator-initiated services (push) to user-initiated ones (pull). Communications services are no longer limited to people-to-people, but also machine-to-machine, apparently every aspect of life.
In order to capitalize on the evolution, CTTC-HK sees a strong need for better understanding of the end-user market and more coherent efforts from the industry, research institutions, and universities. “Market-Driven” and “Collaborative Efforts” have been two emphasized elements of the centre’s R&D activities.
Building upon the success of CTTC, CTTC-HK strives to become a key wireless technology centre in the Asia Pacific region. Being located in Hong Kong, a metropolitan city known for its high smartphone penetration rate and openness to new technologies surrounded by many telecom giants and design manufacturers, CTTC-HK is in a good position to design, test-drive, and transfer any in-house developed Smart City technologies.
Our long-term goal:
