Collaboration opportunities

An Invitation to Collaborate

SpectrumX makes it easy to access our broad and diverse community through an affordable consortium model for industry and government agencies.

 

WHY JOIN?

Collaboration Advisory Board Members Influence Center Strategies and Research Directions

Members participate in and/or contribute to specific projects relevant to them; obtain early access to project results; gain access to highly skilled talent (students and faculty); and work with SpectrumX participants directly to apply the Center’s research outcomes to further develop and implement solutions (e.g., products, services, methodologies, and policies) that solve real-world spectrum-related problems.
