By providing a versatile experimentation environment, the Wireless and Inter-networking Systems Experimentation LABoratory (WISELAB) can support advanced development and evaluation of terrestrial wireless technologies for industries, governments and universities and can assist in the orderly deployment of new wireless systems.

WISELAB offers its clients a large array of resources, expertise, support equipment and collaboration opportunities with CRC's research groups in many communications technology.

The CRC terrestrial wireless testbed can support various developmental activities, for example:

• Test new wireless concepts, prototypes, and products (complete systems or individual modules)
• Demonstrate leading-edge communication systems
• Test interconnection of wireless and wireline networks, including access to the information highway
• Evaluate competing technologies
• Evaluate the performance and interference effects of wireless systems operating under various conditions; and
• Experiment with new technologies and frequency bands to support the development of policy, regulations and standards, and to facilitate frequency coordination.
