The Cogg Wheel that will make Wireless Spinn

Meeting point for researchers - academic & industrial A “Think tank” Producer of leading and "trend-setting" research results. Provide an attractive environment for international top-level

scientists and talented students. Undergraduate specialization in Wireless yearly producing about

150 engineers international M.Sc. program with the highest international

reputation, producing about 50 graduates per year. Post graduate school on telecom producing about 20 Ph.Ds yearly Create sufficient resources for “independent” research and

administration of "larger" research projects.
