It serves as an incubator for big ideas and large projects involving faculty from various disciplines around the University and the across the country.The Wireless Institute also leads SpectrumX, the world’s largest academic hub where radio spectrum stakeholders innovate, collaborate, and contribute to research and spectrum policy with the goal to maximize the social welfare of the radio spectrum itself.
