OPMLPartners
CRC is helping to build the technological foundation for advanced, global communications through its research expertise in wireless, photonics and broadband technologies.
As markets become more globalized in scope, and technology becomes more sophisticated, partnerships and knowledge-sharing are vital to Canada's success. Working with academia, businesses and other government departments, we are achieving goals together to increase Canada's quality of living and its ability to compete in international markets.
We are also engaged in strategic partnerships with Industry Canada, National Defence and the Canadian Space Agency to address the needs of the Canadian Armed Forces, the Canadian Space Program and telecommunications policy.
We carry out various research activities, from developing emerging technologies, to providing scientific and technical advice, to creating and commercializing new technologies.
International Collaboration
CRC has research agreements with organizations in several countries and is an active member of many international committees and standards bodies.
Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT): CRC and C-DOT have identified specific opportunities for collaboration relating to domestic and international initiatives in broadband systems, wireless techniques, optical communications equipment, DSP/VLSI design and satellite communications.
