 | The Global Wireless Education Consortium, or GWEC (pronounced GeeWec), is a collaboration of wireless industry companies and academic institutions. |
GWEC is focused on expanding wireless technology curriculum in academic institutions worldwide. Many companies and colleges and universities develop the curriculum together, and only ONCE. That material is then shared among all GWEC members. The intent is to work more efficiently by eliminating duplication of effort and dollars spent. |
