Offers a wide range of services in the manufacture and testing of radiofrequency components, circuits, and antennas, and this up to beyond one terahertz. A description of the services offered is available at the links below:
Polytechnique Montreal
It is a world-class optical network infrastructure composed of 20 network nodes fully equipped with WDM transmission technologies and systems from 2.5 to 800 Gb/s for metro to core and submarine applications, coherent transceivers, flexible ROADMs and amplifiers, as well as integrated optics, monitoring and networking testbeds.
École de technologie supérieure (ETS)
1. Physical Layer Testbed Including WDM Transmission Platforms, Control and Management and Modeling Software Tools.
2. Test & Measurement Tools.
3. Testbed from the Radio Site to the Metro Transport Layer.
The equipment used at LACIME comprises two basic components: software and hardware. These tools can be found in several of LACIME’s project work areas.LACIME’s project work areas are equipped with SUN and PC stations.
These computers have the most recent versions of software used in communication system and integrated circuit research, design, development and simulation. Also available are Xilinx FPGA and Altera Development Boards.
École de technologie supérieure (ETS)
1. In clean room

· Thin film characterization equipment (microscopes, SEM, profilometer)
· Photolithography equipment (spin coater, UV exposure, gray level laser lithography)
2. Outside the clean room:
· Characterization equipment for electro-mechanical microsystems (MEMS) and electro-optical microsystems (MOEMS) (electro-optical probes, automatic wirebonder, vibrometer, network analyzer ...)
· Characterization equipment for high frequency integrated circuits (RF) (probes station, signal generator, signal and spectrum analyzer, network analyzer)
· Characterization equipment for high frequency integrated circuits (RF) (probes station, signal generator, signal and spectrum analyzer, network analyzer)
· Equipment for the realization of circuits with printable electronics
· Biological lab level 2, this covers the work with agents associated with human disease, in other words, pathogenic or infectious organisms posing a moderate hazard.
· Equipment for the test and simulation of communication system (software defined radios, callbox).
In this lab, the data collected by sensors in the environment/on users is relayed through edge devices to a cloud computing platform, where it is filtered and aggregated to: 1) act, by computing a response based on the current world model; and 2) learn, by updating the model. The Act output is sent back to the world/devices via relays.
UQÀM
1. An IoT Edge Platform including various IoT devices, relays, and edge devices needed by our research projects.
2. A cloud computing platform to have real-life conditions for engineering projects and support the storage and computations of all projects.
3. A stationary user experience lab: video/audio recording equipment, eye trackers, and high-precision bio/physiological monitors.
4. A mobile user experience lab: ambulatory versions of the UXS equipment for real-life deployment of SPAs and geolocation in large spaces.
