About Us
The Center for Wireless
Telecommunications (CWT) is an interdisciplinary research
center, with faculty and students from five different colleges
at Virginia Tech.
These are the Colleges of Science, Liberal Arts and Human Sciences, Natural Resources,
Business, and Engineering. CWT was designated a Technology Development Center (TDC)
of Virginia’s Center for Innovative Technology (CIT) in 1993.
The primary mission of CWT is to help
client companies develop new products and services using
wireless technologies, and to provide a learning environment for
graduate students that prepares them for jobs in wireless
communications.
CWT is a voluntary association of
faculty members who are committed to working together on
interdisciplinary projects and challenges involving wireless applications. Some CWT members participate as
individuals, and others work specifically in CWT’s
affiliated groups, such as the Antenna Group and the
Space and Wireless Business Center (SAWBUC).
