Globally, two billion people use fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks. But the rollout of 5G technology has also come with a steep energy cost.
U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) SpectrumX is excited to invite undergraduate students interested in wireless and radio frequency research to participate in its Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU+) program this summer.
The recent research paper entitled “Spectrum Sovereignty on Tribal Lands: Assessing the Digital Reservations Act” was published on August 1, 2022. The Federal Communications Commission currently governs the electromagnetic spectrum on sovereign tribal lands. As a result, tribal governments are unable to self-manage and self-govern spectrum on their lands perpetuating the digital divide and a source of lost revenue.
A recent article published in the technology magazine IEEE Spectrum focused on the clash of U.S. billionaires over spectrum resources.
The article, “SpaceX and Dish’s super-shady war for the world, or, why three billionaires are girding for battle over spectrum supremacy – why it matters,” was published on July 15, 2022.
