Comments Due Thursday on Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research Program

The Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) program, a joint program by the National Science Foundation and a 28-company wireless industry consortium, reminded interested parties comments are due Thursday on a request for information on city-scale testing platforms designed to speed fundamental research on wireless communications. To inform a request for proposals, the group is seeking “input from the research community, local communities, and industry on potential applications or use-cases providing community benefit AND the transformative wireless technologies needed to enable those applications,” said a Tuesday notice. The program said it's seeking a “diversity of platforms across technology areas, topology, demography, and geography.”
