In this position he has been project manager or chief investigator for wireless based research initiatives with a wide array of applications, and this has led to involvement with NASA and the Australian coal-mining industry. He was part of the Gigabit Wireless project which, in 2007, was awarded the CSIRO Chairman's Medal and Engineers Australia's Engineering Excellence Award.

Bunton received the following CSIRO medals:

1992 - CSIRO Medal for Research Achievement (with John O'Sullivan and colleagues in the Fast Fourier Technology Team) for developing and applying the Fast Fourier Transform technology;

2007 - CSIRO Chairman's Medal for Science and Engineering Excellence as a member of the Gigabit Wireless Team for the development of the world's fastest and most spectrally efficient 6 gigabit per second wireless millimetre-wave communications link.
