This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $1,249,175.00 in funding to Lutris, Inc., a small business based in Berkeley, California. The award, with a period of performance from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, supports the development of massively parallel protocols for software-based wireless instrumentation. The objective is to build a system that can non-intrusively monitor 4G and 5G networks, detect interference and misconfiguration, and identify where additional base stations are needed. This will enable faster and less expensive deployment of wireless networks by automating network optimization and removing the need for specialized wireless expertise. The underlying innovation is a new approach to implementing radios in software using commodity computing hardware, which addresses challenges in processing the increasing complexity of modern wireless communication standards.
