... CTL expanded from four focus areas to six research focus areas -- Core Network Technologies, Fundamental Electromagnetic Technologies and Standards, Next-Generation Wireless Systems, Public Safety Communications, Smart Infrastructure and Manufacturing, and Spectrum Sharing and Sensing. Metrology is now integrated throughout the focus areas and has a prominent role in the strategic plans and roadmaps for these areas.
