Microsystems are essential for ICT products and services including computers, telephones and cell phones,satellites, fibre optic communications, the Internet, global positioning systems and broadband technologies. On an annual average, the ICT sector is growing more than twice as fast as the overall economy.

Dr. David Plant (lower right), Scientific Director of the Agile All-Photonic Networks; Dr. Lawrence Chen (centre), and Dr. Andrew Kirk (upper left), Professors of Electrical and Computer Engineering, review a burst-mode receiver with clock and data recovery for optical multi-access networks that is under development at McGill University. They comprise the Electrical and Computer Engineering Photonic Systems Group at McGill University, and rely on research infrastructure provided by CMC Microsystems.
