The Tactile Internet Laboratory at KCL offers world leading expertise in SDN and software defined radio (SDR), cloud-radio access networks (C-RAN) and haptic capabilities, enabling a fully end-to-end reconfigurable platform to study a wide range of IoT applications (http://bit.ly/1mdepaO). In collaboration with Ericsson, KCL is developing tactile Internet use cases and requirements for both the consumer and key participants in this country. In particular, KCL designed the research roadmap centred on architecture design, improvements for low latency applications and multi-connectivity in heterogeneous scenarios. Additionally, KCL offers world-leading expertise in content delivery, emergency response and assisted driving, as well as developing a high-level business case analysis for low latency use cases feasibility. Recently KCL has driven a creative collaboration with Vodafone and the Young Vic to showcase a
fully immersive 5G tactile Internet test-bed experience for customers in the theatre.
