In the past decade, the telecommunications field has been considered a key economic driver in many countries by offering new telecommunications technologies and services such as fiber optics, third and fourth-generation mobile networks, and high-speed internet. With this approach, since 2000, the Telecommunications Research Pole has been recognized as one of the first specialized poles in the country by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology, and began its activities in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Sharif University of Technology.
Since then, the Telecommunications Research Pole of this faculty has continuously been one of the specialized poles in the country in the field of telecommunications systems. In recent years, with an emphasis on telecommunications access networks, it has been operating under the title “Scientific Pole of Telecommunications Access Systems.” It is evident that access in telecommunications networks covers all methods of fiber optics, wireless, and wired communications, enabling high data rates and final connectivity to broadband subscribers.
The main strategy of the Telecommunications Access Systems Research Pole in recent years has been to focus on innovative and research-based ideas that can be presented as the production of technical knowledge at a global level. Alongside fundamental research in these areas, the group members have also continued their serious activities in implementing practical ideas and providing laboratory solutions within the allocated budgets, achieving significant results in the fields of optical and wireless communications. The selection of the Telecommunications Access Systems Research Pole in 2013 as the top pole among all engineering poles in the country’s universities is a clear indication of this success.
