The Center for Wireless Studies (CWS) was established through funding from the Egyptian National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) to the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University. The center’s main activity is to conduct applied research in the area of wireless communications, increase the local knowledge in the telecommunications sector about the new and coming wireless standards, and raise the awareness regarding wireless technologies by actively following and contributing to the 4G communication standards, namely the LTE and the IEEE802.16m which is the latest WiMAX standard targeting higher mobility and higher data rates than the Mobile WiMAX based on IEEE802.16e standard.  In addition, another funding was granted from STDF to study the joint implementation of both standards using reprogrammable engines.
