Four teams awarded planning grants through the National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) new Spectrum Innovation Initiative (SII) are merging to create a comprehensive, interdisciplinary plan for a 5-year, $25M National Center for Wireless Spectrum Research (SII-Center).
Whitney Lohmeyer, Assistant Professor of Engineering at Olin College, is enthusiastic about the prospects: “As the first engineer at OneWeb, and as an advisor to several satellite broadband entities, I have found myself in the trenches of regulatory coexistence issues among the satellite communications, 5G terrestrial wireless, and radio astronomy (RAS) communities. Based upon my personal experience, the SII-Center presents a tremendous opportunity to not only conduct innovative research and influence regulatory policy, but also to better prepare a diverse workforce of scientists and engineers for our future.” Read more at https://wireless.nd.edu/news/spectrumx/
