Breaking the Frequency Barrier: Using Millimetre Waves for Mobile Services
It is estimated that by 2020 there will be 50 to 100 billion wireless devices in use. That means the radio frequency spectrum – the airwaves that transmit signals for everything from our mobile phones, to TV shows and emergency communications for firefighters and ambulances – will become increasingly crowded.

CRC Collaboration with Universities
Big data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cloud computing … these are just some of the specialties of the co-op students working at the Communications Research Centre (CRC). Every semester, about 20 post-secondary students bring their expertise and their energy to the CRC. Learn more…about CRC Collaboration with Universities
Driverless Cars
A car without a driver may sound like an accident waiting to happen. But automated cars may be the key to making our roads and highways safer, more efficient and less polluting. "Automation is going to be a lot less prone to human error," says Dr. John Lodge, Chief Technology Officer for the Communications Research Centre. Learn more…about Driverless Cars
Spectrum Sharing
Spectrum is one of Canada's vitally important public resources. It is the airwaves around us that carry all our wireless communications, whether it's for our mobile phones, radio and television programming, satellite transmissions or emergency communications between police, firefighters and ambulance services.
