The work of the Centre is carried out in five key locations across Ireland:

Trinity College, Dublin
At TCD Prof. Linda Doyle and her team focus on future networks in terms of protocols, control management, mobility handling and other architectural issues. Reconfigurability and software radio play an important role and Linda's researchers work closely with CTVR colleagues in each of the other institutions.

NUI Maynooth and Dublin Institute of Technology
Dr. Ronan Farrell and his team focus on a range of RF topics as well as contributing hardware elements to the reconfigurabiility and software radio work undertaken in Trinity. Ronan is supported by Dr. Max Ammann and a team of researchers at the Dublin Institute of Technology. At DIT the focus is on antenna design and performance.

Tyndall National Institute and Dublin City University
Dr. Frank Peters and Dr. Andrew Ellis at Tyndall are supported by Dr. Liam Barry at DCU in undertaking research across a range of areas in future photonics networks.

University of LImerick
Dr. Jeff Punch and his team focus on the reliability, thermal and energy issues facing the telecommunications industry. Specifically, the work concentrates on how these issues relate to the research in TCD, NUIM and Tyndall.

4C at Univerity College Cork
Dr. Ken Brown and his team provide expertise on constraint and optimisation approaches to each of the other CTVR research teams.
