Communications and Networks

Connected. Wireless. Tracked. Sensed. There is hardly a market or sector that isn't being touched by advances in communications and network technologies. SRI has been solving complex technical challenges in communication technologies and networking for decades. Our expertise spans core research, application development and commercial deployment, and our interdisciplinary teams focus on the integration of new hardware and software technology to provide solutions today and opportunities tomorrow.

SRI has been here from the beginning: We were instrumental in the early development of the ARPANET in the 1960s, and we sent the first three-network Internet transmission in 1977. Today, SRI is recognized internationally for its achievements in many important areas, including:

Communications

• Telecommunications
• Command and control for crisis management
• Distributed communications
• Radio communications and astronomical measurements
• Communication system design and development
• Advanced global positioning system (GPS) innovations

Networking

• Advanced networking
• Cybersecurity
• Active Networks Test Environment (ACTIVATE)
• Enclaves: mobile security for group communications
• Intrusion detection
• Adaptable Network Control and Reporting System (ANCORS)
• Network Embedded Systems Technology (NEST)

Training

• Instrumented training: Deployable Force-on-Force Instrumented Range System (DFIRST) for military and first responders
• Live-virtual-constructive battlefield readiness training: Joint Training Experimentation Program (JTEP) for the California National Guard
