CelPlan Technologies, Inc. (CelPlan) and The UWI St. Augustine Campus have renewed an Academic Programme Courseware Licence Agreement by which CelPlan provides training materials on radio communications and Radio-Frequency (RF)-based systems, standards and technologies to The UWI.

Additionally, CelPlan has provided UWI licence-free use of CelPlannerTM, their flag-ship, industry-grade software for planning, designing and optimization of wireless telecommunication systems, including 4G systems. Training material and software have been integrated into a number of academic courses and student projects offered by the Communication Systems Group in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DECE). These give students in-demand, industry-ready, hands-on skills and experience in the rapidly advancing field of wireless communications engineering.

According to Dr Kim Mallalieu, Leader of the Communication Systems Group, DECE: “This is a tremendous opportunity for our students to design and analyse new and emerging wireless communication networks using industry-grade software; and at the same time, to explore market modelling, realistic business cases and a variety of design tasks that are not typically covered in theoretical courses.”
