EAGER: US Ignite: Wireless Research Consortium

通过这个项目，美国Ignite希望通过创建一个无线研究联盟，加快开发和采用引人注目的下一代无线网络技术，该技术将改变人们的生活，该联盟由工业、私人基金会、研究和教育网络、城市和地区、研究人员、风险资本家和软件开发商的不同合作伙伴组成。该项目将最终在全国范围内启动美国Ignite无线研究联盟，其中将包括宣布由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倡议的拟议长期治理模式。拟议的无线研究联盟对于促进无线网络知识和理解至关重要，因为目前还没有这种专注于支持长期研究的协调伙伴关系。下一代无线网络正在改变联网应用所能做的事情。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时产生重大影响。鉴于人们对下一代无线网络技术的兴趣高涨，US Ignite将把合作伙伴关系扩展到众多合作伙伴，这些合作伙伴反过来可以访问他们不同的技能、专业知识和资源，以期与NSF资助的研究人员分享这些信息。目前的美国Ignite管理团队为该项目带来了85年的学术、行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.
