- This $9,960,960 federal Project Grant award from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (CFDA 11.038 - Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund Grant Program) supports the development of SALSA (Spectrally Agile Large-Scale Arrays), a wideband, spectrally agile, and scalable radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) and transceiver. The goal is to integrate the RFIC with antennas and a digital interface to create an open radio unit (O-RU) for the Open Radio Access...
This $150,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides funding to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to develop an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) wireless testbed and training program. The project aims to train the next-generation wireless workforce by allowing trainees to access and operate advanced wireless communications equipment and instruments, including software-defined radios, millimeter-wave components, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces. It will also develop AI/ML-based tools for wireless data collection and analytics. The program will offer hands-on training through new course modules, vertical integration projects, and summer courses targeted at both students and existing wireless professionals. The training materials will be made publicly available to reach a broader and more diverse audience of wireless practitioners.
