DARWIN’s aim is to provide a proof of concept of ubiquitous communications by exploring wider possibilities of connected terrestrial and satellite connected terrestrial 5G networks and satellite GEO and LEO constellations. We will showcase our findings on a Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV).
DARWIN gathered an amazing team comprised of industry professionals, academics and university graduates. This combination of skills allows us to think wide and assess problems from different points of view, allowing innovation to thrive.
DARWIN has four office locations: Harwell Science Campus, Didcot, Telefonica O2 London, Telefonica O2 Slough and newly opened office in Glasgow (University of Glasgow).

“I especially enjoy working with start-ups and newer ventures, and helping to develop systems to allow the business to run smoothly from a financial perspective, and in turn allow everybody else to get on with what they are good at.
Never far from a calculator (who said accountants are boring). During lockdown, I have been attempting to pick up some new skills with a bit of coding, and a couple of beginner electronic projects on the horizon. I look forward to meeting you all."
