TU Delft and partners to create superhighway for digital data

TU Delft and partners to create superhighway for digital data

TU Delft researchers and 20 partners will develop reliable and safe wireless broadband connections using light instead of radio waves. They anticipate that this technology will allow us to securely send and process digital data at high speeds, with low latency. For this research project, the team has been awarded €4.1 million from the Dutch Research Council’s (NWO) Perspectief programme. TU Delft is also participating in the other five consortia that received Perspectief funding.

Ambulance stuck in traffic? Not when it’s an urban air vehicle

Ambulance stuck in traffic? Not when it’s an urban air vehicle

Will your ambulance or taxi arrive by air in the future? If you live in a heavily urbanised area, this may very well the case. Urban Air Mobility can be an attractive solution for reliable transport in heavily congested areas. From 15 to 17 March 2021 TU Delft hosts the first (online) Delft International Conference on Urban Air Mobility.
