Sending very large amount of files from Malaysia to Europe in a matter of seconds? Getting the latest result in the Liga Malaysia and the Champions league while in journey? All these can be achieved via the latest communication technology engineering. It involves a number of passionate researchers, a very long and dedicated working hour, significant cost and a compilation of research papers before the wonderful application is feasible. . The last milestone can only be achieved when studies on wireless propagation for signal transmission and fibre optic as a medium of transmission are well conducted and managed in a good manner. Here in Research Centre of Excellence for Wireless and Photonic Networks (WiPNET), the focuses are on research and development (R&D) in wireless and photonic areas. Knowledge and skills contribution, together with expert consultation and valuable R&D output are WiPNET objectives. The golden blend of brains in WiPNET will sustain its capability in delivering the quality R&D in wireless and photonic to the next level. Global and local professional networking, R&D coordination and in par with the current research trend are some of the criteria for the successful R&D in WiPNET. |
