Welcome to the homepage of the Center for Wireless Systems and Applications (CWSA) at Purdue University. The goal of the center is to improve wireless-related education to train tomorrow's engineering leaders and foster collaboration to create faster, higher-quality wireless applications and infrastructure. More than 85 faculty and staff members from 13 different schools and departments actively participate in CWSA programs.

To accomplish this, the Center has focused its resources on six major thrust areas:

• devices and materials
• low power electronics
• communications
• networking
• multimedia traffic
• security

To improve wireless-related education, CWSA has also developed the Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) program where faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates work together to perform wireless-related research and test new wireless applications.
