WNCG affiliate company Viavi Solutions today announced its new 6G Forward program, designed to "provide vital expertise, technology, and funding to promising avenues of research, which may lead to breakthroughs for the next generation of wireless technology." VIAVI joined WNCG's Industrial Affiliate Program this summer, supporting the newly-launched 6G@UT center.

Earlier this year, WNCG launched 6G@UT—a new research center imagining the future of wireless connectivity at the intersection of immersive sensing and machine learning. Planning has begun for an official kick-off event in 2022. The program will include the inaugural public 6G@UT Summit, which will host a variety of talks and panels featuring leaders in industry and academe. Keep an eye on our newsletters and the 6G@UT website for the latest Summit details as they're announced.

PRESS RELEASE: New 6G Research Center Unites Industry Leaders and UT Wireless Experts Teaming up with industry titans including Samsung, NVIDIA, and more, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin are launching 6G@UT, a new research center to lay the groundwork for 6G, the next generation of wireless technology.

The Engineering Education and Research Center at The University of Texas was abuzz with over 200 participants gathered for Texas Wireless Summit (TWS) on November 6. This year’s theme was “AI and the Mobile Device.”Held annually by WNCG, TWS brings together leading figures in industry, academia, and government to discuss the latest developments in information systems technology. “AI and the Mobile Device” marked the 16th summit hosted by the group.“Every year we try to think about a theme that captures what’s most exciting in technology,” Prof.

WNCG students Wenguang Mao and Mei Wang, along with their advisor, WNCG Professor Lili Qiu, won the “Best Paper” award at this year's ACM MobiSys, which took place over the summer in Munich, Germany. According to the conference website, MobiSys “seeks to present innovative and significant research on all aspects of mobile systems, applications, and services. The conference values technical contributions with working implementations and practical evaluations.” Mao, Wang and Qiu’s paper, titled “AIM: Acoustic Imaging on a Mobile,” was chosen from 40 papers accepted to the conference.

Registration is now open for WNCG’s 2018 Texas Wireless Summit! TWS will take place on November 6, 2018 at The University of Texas at Austin.  This year's event, “AI and the Mobile Device,” will focus on how machine learning, artificial intelligence, and some key applications will interact with wireless technology. The Summit will examine how Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) will simultaneously enhance connectivity as well as place demands on both devices and connectivity.
