Panasonic
is extending its four-year collaboration with IMEC to cover a broader
range of advanced technology that includes networks, wireless, and
biomedical fields. The research partners are to establish the Panasonic
IMEC Center, with research carried out at Leuven, Belgium and IMEC’s
research unit at Holst Centre in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
The center will conduct R&D on network technology such as dynamically reconfigurable software-defined radio, ultra-low power consumption wireless communication technology for healthcare and lifestyle monitoring and biomedical technology such as next generation biosensors.
