EAGER: US Ignite: Wireless Research Consortium

通过这个项目，US Telecom希望通过创建一个由工业、私人基金会、研究和教育网络、城市和地区、研究人员、风险投资家和软件开发商等各种合作伙伴组成的无线研究联盟，加速开发和采用将改变人们生活的引人注目的下一代无线网络技术。该项目将在美国无线研究联盟的全国启动时达到高潮，该联盟将包括关于国家科学基金会领导的部署、合作伙伴承诺以及一系列先进无线研究举措的拟议长期治理模式的公告。拟议的无线研究联盟对推进无线网络知识和理解至关重要，因为目前还不存在这种以支持长期研究为重点的协调伙伴关系。下一代无线网络正在改变网络应用程序的功能。拟议的伙伴关系预计将在伙伴之间将知识从研究转化为实践方面产生重大影响。鉴于对下一代无线网络技术的兴趣高涨，美国物联网将与众多合作伙伴建立伙伴关系，这些合作伙伴可以反过来获得他们的各种技能，专业知识和资源，以期与NSF资助的研究人员分享。目前的美国无线电管理团队为该项目带来了85年的学术、工业和政府领导和创业经验，并将利用这些经验建立无线研究联盟。

Through this project, US Ignite expects to accelerate the development and adoption of compelling next-generation wireless network technologies that will transform people's lives, by virtue of the creation of a Wireless Research Consortium composed of a diverse set of partners in industry, private foundations, research and education networks, cities and regions, researchers, venture capitalists, and software developers. The project will culminate in the national launch of the US Ignite Wireless Research Consortium, which will include announcements about the National Science Foundation-led deployment, partner commitments, and proposed long-term governance model of a series of advanced wireless research initiatives.The proposed Wireless Research Consortium is critical to advancing wireless network knowledge and understanding, since no such coordinated partnership focused on the support of long-term research exists at present. The next-generation of wireless networks is changing the landscape for what networked applications can do. The proposed partnership anticipates significant impacts when transferring knowledge among partners from research to practice. Given the groundswell of interest in next-generation wireless network technologies, US Ignite will extend partnerships to numerous partners who can, in turn, give access to their diverse skill sets, expertise, and resources, with a view to share them with NSF-funded researchers. The current US Ignite management team brings 85 collective years of academic, industry, and government leadership and start-up experience to the project, and will leverage this experience to build the Wireless Research Consortium.
