The Edge Computing Hub at Queen's University Belfast brings together the two worlds of computer science/IT and telecoms for making ‘Edge Computing’ a reality.

Edge computing allows for processing data closer to users, thus making Internet applications more responsive, reliable and secure. Our research is mindful of people-at-the-heart of technology.

Our vision is to tackle key systems centric challenges for deploying massively distributed edge systems by embedding intelligence into key decision-making activities. 

ECIT has partnered with the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Queen's University Belfast and Rakuten Mobile to deliver this vision.
