Improving efficiency to package and transmit information

Wireless communications and networks research is a vast area of science and technology concerned with the development of the most efficient means of packaging and transmitting information between nodes. Key goals include reducing costs and power usage through the design of application-specific antennas, and maximizing bandwidth of communication channels via improvements in information system theory.

Waterloo Engineering boasts the largest, strongest wireless communications and networks university research group in Canada, as well advanced facilities featuring equipment that is unique in the country and rare anywhere in the world.

Leading researchers and industry partners in the field are drawn to Waterloo Engineering by its liberal intellectual property (IP) policies, entrepreneurial spirit, thriving technology ecosystem in the surrounding community, extensive co-operative education program for undergraduate students, and campus-wide emphasis on science and technology.
