Researchers at CCSPR developed a set of algorithms that have become industry standards used to facilitate code division multiple access (CDMA), a widely used digital cell phone technology. It eliminates interference commonly caused by high cell phone usage. CDMA is the technology of choice for Verizon and Sprint-Nextel wireless networks in the U.S., as well as some other wireless networks overseas. The OFDM/MIMO technologies that Bar-Ness was involved with are now being deployed in WLAN and WiMax networks for wireless voice and data.

Also, he has been a principal investigator or co-principal investigator on research grants or contracts supported by the National Science Foundation, the New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force and Naval Oceanic Center.

Dr. Bar-Ness was recently honored by IEEE for his "outstanding, sustained and visionary contributions," to the IEEE's publications and for founding the journal IEEE Communications Letters. Dr. Bar-Ness' work contributed greatly to the New Jersey economy and to the well-deferred fame New Jersey has for innovation in wireless technology, notes to Ray Pickholtz, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, George Washington University and Former President of the IEEE Communications Society. Bar-Ness' passion for excellence has inspired two generations of students who have become innovators and leaders, added Picholtz.
