The State of New York has designated Polytechnic as the New York Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications and Distributed Information Systems (DIS). This designation means that State funds are allocated to Polytechnic so that it can in turn provide research, development and educational support for New York based corporations in telecommunications and related fields. Polytechnic is the only center in the State of New York to receive a designation in telecommunications and distributed information systems. The Center and its related activities further strengthens Polytechnic's strong academic position in electrical engineering and computer science. In 2001, CATT was designated a Verizon Center for Excellence in Telecommunications. NY State is also funding an additional center which focuses on the wireless Internet, called WICAT or the Wireless Internet Center for Advanced Technology. The CATT Center also offers graduate research fellowships for entering students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. degree.
Five research and education units are contained in the Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications. They are:
- High-Speed Networking
- Multimedia and Image Communications
- Wireless Networks
- Distributed Information Systems
- Postgraduate Education Programs and Short Courses
