The Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC) is the leading federal laboratory for research and development (R&D) in advanced telecommunications. An agency of Industry Canada, CRC focuses on the technologies that form our nation's basic communications - radio, satellite, broadcasting and fibre optics. Within these key areas, CRC works in collaboration with public, private and academic sectors, both in Canada and abroad.

Through its many partnerships, CRC is bridging the gaps in Canada's telecommunications sector. This means sharing our technical intelligence and providing independent advice to help shape public policies and regulations. It also reflects CRC's emphasis on assisting small-and medium-sized enterprises through technology transfer and commercialization.

Most of all, CRC aims to innovate - to help shape the future of Canadian communications. CRC's talented research force is breaking down technology barriers to bring broadband services to all regions of Canada, especially under-served rural and remote areas. CRC is expanding Canadians' access to education, healthcare and global business opportunities.

Through innovation in communications, CRC is pushing the boundaries to create a better future for Canadians.
