Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

OUR PROGRAM

Wireless communications are pervasive in our lives. They have grown in recent years to include everything from personal communications networks to governments, hospitals and neighbourhood businesses. And there’s no end in sight to the growth of our wireless world.

Hear what our faculty has to say about this program.

George Brown’s leading-edge Wireless Networking postgraduate program is designed to put you at the centre of this exciting world by giving you high-demand skills in radio frequency (RF), cellular, broadband and narrowband communications. In fact, George Brown’s expertise in this field has been confirmed with its designation as a Cisco Regional Academy for Wireless Networking and Security.

We offer you a unique choice of career direction. You can specialize in:

• Broadband and Mobile Communications
• Network and Systems Security
• Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Technologies

Other program advantages include:

• We have departed from the traditional lecture-based course structure. Students learn in labs by practicing on the equipment that they will use when they go into the workforce.
• In conjunction with our corporate partners, students may be involved in real-world projects for one or two days per week, making proposals and then working in teams to plan projects, set schedules and achieve goals.
• George Brown has invested over $1.5 million to create up-to-date wireless and RF labs so that all students gain individual hands-on experience.
• In our NetLab installation, students are able to prepare for Cisco’s CCNA certification entirely online.

Note: In this rapidly changing industry, program improvements are being made on an ongoing basis, which may result in course changes. Changes are made in consultation with our Program Advisory Committee, which is composed of academic staff and industry representatives from small, medium and large corporations.

“George Brown College allowed me to gain hands-on experience and develop networks with people in the field. Every day I use the concepts and skills I gained in the program.”

Nancy Nangia (2008 graduate, Wireless Networking)
