Hybrid Networking Research Laboratory (HNRL) Home Page

The Hybrid Networking Research Laboratory (HNRL) at Swansea University, Wales UK, was founded by Dr Kyeong Soo (Joseph) Kim in 2007. The HNRL has carried out research in next-generation optical access (NGOA) and hybrid optical-wireless networking under Dr Kim's guidance since then. The focus of current research is on the implementation of the virtual test bed for NGOA and WLAN-based localization for future location awareness services.
