In many applications, wireless telecommunications can eliminate the high costs of installing and maintaining traditional wired systems.
Wireless services make even the most rural community accessible through communications.
The growing demand for access to information in any environment is shaping the future of wireless communications. To achieve the vision of truly mobile information, next-generation wireless services will provide higher voice quality, expanded coverage, seamless global roaming, high speed data, and a full range of broadband multimedia services, including full motion video, video conferencing, and Internet access. The design and deployment of next generation systems will require new air interface technologies, multimedia-capable networking, and specifications that ensure that the new wireless infrastructure is both specific enough to deliver planned services and flexible enough to provide services that have not been conceived. Close relationships with Industrial Affiliate companies and a strong sponsored research program help keep MPRG s finger on the pulse of the wireless communications industry to ensure that educational and research objectives meet present and future needs. MPRG's Mission is to provide design and analysis tools and techniques for International and U.S. Manufacturers, government, and consumer service providers, and regulatory agencies, while providing a high caliber educational experience for graduate and undergraduate engineering students pursuing careers in wireless communications.
