The Information and Communication Technologies Group (GTIC) at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid conducts research across a broad range of topics related to the design, analysis, and governance of communication networks and digital systems. The group’s activities span mobile network planning and optimization, wireless network measurements, millimeter-wave and sub-THz propagation modelling, ICT policy and regulation, and data economy–related research. Although these research lines address different technical and institutional dimensions of the ICT ecosystem, they are connected through a shared emphasis on empirical evidence, data-driven methods, and real-world impact. Through close collaboration with industry, public institutions, and international research initiatives, GTIC contributes scientific knowledge and applied insights to support next-generation network evolution and evidence-based policy and regulatory decision-making.
