The printing press, the telephone, the television. They’ve all revolutionized the way the world communicates. Now, from wireless cellular to digital multimedia, new technologies are once again changing the way we live.

The Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC) is the government’s primary research lab for communications technologies. With over 200 top researchers, CRC has become a key centre of excellence for ICT research not only in Canada, but around the world.
