Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications
The Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications (German: Fraunhofer-Institut für Nachrichtentechnik), officially the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institute, also known as the Fraunhofer HHI, the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, or simply, the Heinrich Hertz Institute (abbreviated as HHI), is a research institute of the Fraunhofer Society based in Berlin, Germany. The institute engages in applied research and development in the fields of physics, electrical engineering and computer sciences.
The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute develops mobile and stationary broadband communication networks and multimedia systems. Focal points of independent and contract research conducted by Fraunhofer HHI are photonic components and systems, fiber optic sensor systems, and image signal processing and transmission. Future applications for broadband networks are developed as well. Research in this area focuses on 3D displays, UHD panorama video production, human-machine interaction through gesture control, optical satellite communication and data transmission technologies such as visible light communications.
Scientists at the institute work together with national and international research and industry partners. For example, institute researchers were involved in the development of the H.264 AVC video compression standard and its successor H.265 HEVC as part of the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and the Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG). Work on the various video compression standards received the Technology and Engineering Emmy award multiple times.
The research and development work of the Fraunhofer HHI takes place in six departments:
Fraunhofer HHI employees hold professorships at the following universities:
Fraunhofer HHI is a member of the following internal Fraunhofer groups and alliances
The total budget of Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute in 2015 was approximately €49.2 million. The external funding ratio was 75 percent. 49.8 percent of the budget came from industrial revenues, 13 percent from federal and state contract research, and 6.5 percent from funds provided by the European Union. Approximately 270 employees and 140 students worked at the institute in 2015.
The founding phase of the Heinrich Hertz Institute began on 1 August 1927 with the written intention of the Study Society for Oscillation Research to establish an institute for the research on electrical and acoustic oscillation at the Technische Hochschule in Charlottenburg (now Technische Universität Berlin). Members of this society were the German Reichspost, the Prussian Ministry of Science, Art and National Education, the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft, the Technische Hochschule zu Berlin, the large corporations of the electrical industry, and the German Electrical Engineering Association.
