The Wireless Institute (WI) is a research center within the prestigious College of Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. The Wireless Institute was established in January 2010 to leverage Notre Dame’s extensive experience, tackle important interdisciplinary problems involving both radio technologies and spectrum policy, and broaden the University’s impact on the world. WI engages faculty from the departments of electrical engineering, computer science, and engineering, sociology, law, and finance. WI created the first NSF Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) program at Notre Dame and now leads the NSF Spectrum Innovation Initiative (SII) Center.
